In order to create there must be a dynamic force, and what force is more potent than love?

There is a great gulf between the really creative person and normal people. The totally creative person does not have the rest of his life in proper proportion.

The art of creation is older than the art of killing.

The market kills more artistic passion than anything else.

Shakespeare might have met Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in the white streets of London, or seen the serving-men of rival houses bite their thumbs at each other in the open square: but Hamlet came out of his soul, and Romeo out of his passion.

The imagination imitates. It is the critical spirit that creates.
