“I do not see the world at all; I invent it.”
―

“To me, art is not a solitary delight. It is a means of stirring the greatest number of people by offering them a privileged picture of common joys and sufferings. It obliges the artist not to keep himself apart; it subjects him to the most humble and the most universal truth. And often he who has chosen the fate of the artist because he felt himself to be different soon realizes that he can maintain neither his art nor his difference unless he admits that he is like the others. The artist forges himself to the others, midway between the beauty he cannot do without and the community he cannot tear himself away from. That is why true artists scorn nothing: they are obliged to understand rather than to judge.”

“I am more uncertain than I ever was; I feel only the power of life. And I am senselessly empty.”

“გზა მშვიდობისა – სულერთია, იცოცხლებ, თუ ამქვეყნად აღარ იქნები! შენს მომავალს ცუდი პირი უჩანს; ის ორომტრიალი, შენ რომ ჩაები, კიდევ რამდენიმე წელიწადს გაგრძელდება და ნაძლევს თამამად ვერ ჩამოვალთ, მას ცოცხალი თუ გადაურჩები. გულახდილად რომ ვთქვათ, საკმაოდ უდარდელად ვტოვებთ ამ საკითხს ღიად. შენს სულსა და ხორცში დატრიალებულმა ფათერაკებმა კიდევ უფრო გააღრმავეს შენი გულუბრყვილობა, სულიერად განგაცდევინეს ის, რასაც ხორციელად ალბათ ვეღარც მოესწრები. შენ დაგდგომია ისეთი წამები, როცა სიკვდილიდან და ხორციელი გარყვნილებიდან შენ წინაშე ამოზრდილა წინათგრძნობებით აღსავსე, მართვით შთაგონებული ოცნება სიყვარულზე. მაგრამ სიკვდილის ამ მსოფლიო ზეიმიდან, საღამოს წვიმიან ცაზე შემოგზნებული უკეთური ხანძრიდან აღმოცენდება კი ოდესმე სიყვარული?”
