The worst sin that can be committed against the artist is to take him at his word, to see in his work a fulfillment instead of an horizon.
Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.
The only thing we never get enough of is love and the only thing we never give enough of is love.
In expanding the field of knowledge we but increase the horizon of ignorance.
