"Art is a severe business; most serious..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Reasonable men are the best dictionaries of conversation.”

“It is natural to man to regard himself as the final cause of creation.”

“By nature we have no defect that could not become a strength, no strength that could not become a defect.”

“I just try to find targets I feel something about and express it my way.”

“A stand-up comic is judged by every line. Singers get applause at the end of their song no matter how bad they are.”

“Software is a great combination between artistry and engineering.”

“The critic has to educate the public; the artist has to educate the critic.”

“What portion in the world can the artist have, Who has awakened from the common dream, But dissipation and despair?”

“It is Nature who makes our artists for us, though it may be Art who taught them their right mode of expression.”
