+
It
is by universal misunderstanding that all agree.

they would never agree.
+ Modernity is the transitory, the fugitive, the
contingent, which make up one half of art, the other
being the eternal and the immutable. This transitory
fugitive element, which is constantly changing,
must not be despised or neglected.
+ It is necessary to work, if not from inclination,
at least from despair. Everything considered, work
is less boring than amusing oneself.
+ Genius is childhood recalled at will.
+ An
artist is an artist only because of his exquisite
sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating
pleasures, but which at the same time implies and
contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities
and all disproportion.
