Creation Is The Artist's True Function; Where

I Wouldn't Mind Turning Into A Vermilion Goldfish.

The Essential Thing Is To Spring Forth, To Express The Bolt Of Lightning One Senses Upon Contact With A Thing. The Function Of The Artist Is Not To Translate An Observation But To Express The Shock Of The Object On His Nature; The Shock, With The Original Reaction.

If My Story Were Ever To Be Written Truthfully From Start To Finish, It Would Amaze Everyone.

I Have Been No More Than A Medium, As It Were.

For My Part I Have Never Avoided The Influence Of Others. I Would Have Considered It Cowardice And A Lack Of Sincerity Toward Myself.
