«I have never been able to look upon America as young and vital but rather as prematurely old, as a fruit which rotted before it had a chance to ripen.»
«The real enemy can always be met and conquered, or won over. Real antagonism is based on love, a love which has not recognized itself.»
«Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.»
«You can travel fifty thousand miles in America without once tasting a piece of good bread.»
«In the beginning was the Word. Man acts it out. He is the act, not the actor.»
«There is nothing strange about fear: no matter in what guise it presents itself it is something with which we are all so familiar that when a man appears who is without it we are at once enslaved by him.»
«The new always carries with it the sense of violation, of sacrilege. What is dead is sacred; what is new, that is different, is evil, dangerous, or subversive.»
«Remorse is impotence, it will sin again. Only repentance is strong, it can end everything.»
«Analysis brings no curative powers in its train; it merely makes us conscious of the existence of an evil, which, oddly enough, is consciousness.»
