Quotes by Jorge de Lima (?)

“Quando meu livro de fotomontagens foi publicado, atacaram-no várias vezes, pela imprensa, chamando-o de comunista, dissolvente, até de imoral." Na sequência, cita Picasso: "Todo mundo quer compreender a pintura. Por que não se tenta compreender o canto dos pássaros? ( ... ) Que compreendam, sobretudo, que o artista trabalha por necessidade".
[Em resposta ao comentário de um jornalista de que sua obra plástica já fazia dele um grande artista, Jorge de Lima afirmou, não sem alguma ironia:] "Na realidade só tenho sido poeta, o mais é fantasia”
