"There is no patriotic art...." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“It is easier to perceive error than to find truth, for the former lies on the surface and is easily seen, while the latter lies in the depth, where few are willing to search for it.”

“Idea and experience will never coincide in the center; only through art and action are they united.”

“Normally, people believe that, if they hear just words, that these words must lead to some thought.”

“Music then is simply the result of the effects of Love on rhythm and harmony.”

“My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant.”

“I understand my own pictures best six months after I have done them.”

“The cement of this union is the heart-blood of every American.”

“The time has come for America to hear the truth about this tragic war. In international conflicts, the truth is hard to come by because most nations are deceived about themselves. Rationalizations and the incessant search for scapegoats are the psychological cataracts that blind us to our sins. But the day has passed for superficial patriotism. He who lives with untruth lives in spiritual slavery.”

“I am a foe to tyrants, and my country's friend.”
