"It is better to burn than to..." - Quote by Albert Camus

“On the ridge where the great artist moves forward, every step is an adventure, an extreme risk. In that risk, however, and only there, lays the freedom of Art.”

“There are places where the mind dies so that a truth which is its very denial may be born.”

“May heaven protect us, cher monsieur, from being set on a pedestal by our friends!!!”

“Our life is made by the death of others.”

“Art is essentially the affirmation, the blessing, and the deification of existence.”

“The stream of tendency in which all things seek to fulfill the law of their being.”

“I came to the conclusion that unrealized hopes, even small ones, were always wrenching.”

“I was not born to get stuff done. I was born to dream it and then move towards it.”

“There are books... which rank in our life with parents and lovers and passionate experiences.”
