- If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud.
- Civilization will not attain perfection until the last stone from the last church falls on the last priest.

- If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way.

- There are two men inside the artist, the poet and the craftsman. One is born a poet. One becomes a craftsman.
- One forges one’s style on the terrible anvil of daily deadlines.
