While All Artists Are Not Chess Players,

I've Decided That Art Is A Habit-forming Drug. That's All It Is, For The Artist, For The Collector, For Anybody Connected With It.

Unless A Picture Shocks, It Is Nothing.

I Feel Shame, Not For The Wrong Things I Have Done, But For The Right Things That I Have Failed To Do.

Three Or Four Drops Of Height Have Nothing To Do With Savageness.

I Believe That A Picture, A Work Of Art, Lives And Dies Just As We Do.
