To speak of morals in art is to speak of legislature in sex. Art is the sex of the imagination.

I don't think about art when I'm working. I try to think about life.

No art can be noble which is incapable of expressing thought, and no art is capable of expressing thought which does not change.

Politics is the art of choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable.

Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth.
