The true poet for me is a priest. As soon as he dons the cassock, he must leave his family.

Art requires neither complaisance nor politeness nothing but faith, faith and freedom.

The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.

The future is the worst thing about the present.

The artist must be in his work as God is in creation, invisible and all-powerful one must sense him everywhere but never see him.
