Too many have dispensed with generosity in order to practice charity

Everyone would like to behave like a pagan, with everyone else behaving like a Christian

Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better

Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others
