An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.
