"Art is essentially the affirmation, the blessing,..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Modern marriage has lost its meaning--consequently it is being abolished.”

“Men use a new lesson or experience later on as a ploughshare or perhaps also as a weapon; women at once make it into an ornament.”

“He has drawn back, only in order to have enough room for his leap”

“The beating of drums, which delights young writers who serve a party, sounds to him who does not belong to the party line like a rattling of chains, and excites sympathy rather than admiration.”

“When an artist is in the strict sense working, he of course takes into account the existing tastes, interests and capacity of his audience. These no less than the language , the marble, the paint, are part of his aw material.; to be used, tamed, sublimated, not ignored or defied. Haughty indifference to them is not genius, it is laziness and incompetence.”

“What, or who, led you to take up photography, and about what date ?George Bernard Shaw – I always wanted to draw and paint. I had no literary ambition. I aspired to be a Michelangelo, not a Shakespeare. But I could not draw well enough to satisfy myself; and the instruction I could get was worse than useless. So when dry plates and push buttons came into the market I bought a box camera and began pushing the button. It was in 1898.”

“The present moment is all you ever have.”

“The busier we are, the more acutely we feel that we live, the more conscious we are of life.”

“This-the immediate, everyday, and present experience-is IT, the entire and ultimate point for the existence of a universe.”
