Tip: press → for another quote, C to copy, S to share.
History repeats itself, but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird.
Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.
It is a maudlin and indecent verity that comes out through the strength of wine.
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
