To live lightheartedly but not recklessly to be gay without being boisterous to be courageous without being bold to show trust and cheerful resignation without fatalism -- this is the art of living.

Jean de La Fontaine

One of the dangers of the American artist is that he finds himself almost exclusively thrown in with persons more or less in the arts. He lives among them, eats among them, quarrels with them, marries them.

Thornton Wilder

Aldous Huxley

The New Women I could barely recognize them as being of the same sex as myself . . . . They are satiated by everything, hungry for nothing. They are what I wanted to be they are what I worked for them to be and now I see them, I hate them.

Fay Weldon

I've always enjoyed feeling a connection to the avant-garde, such as Dada and surrealism and pop art. The only thing the artist can do is be honest with themselves and make the art they want to make. That's what I've always done.
