Emile Zola
  • The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.

  • I am little concerned with beauty or perfection. I don't care for the great centuries. All I care about is life, struggle, intensity.

  • The fate of animals is of greater importance to me than the fear of appearing ridiculous it is indissolubly connected with the fate of men.

  • The truth is on the march and nothing will stop it.

  • If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud.
