"An artist is always alone – if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness." ― Henry Miller Topic(s): Art More From Henry Miller "Imagination is the voice of daring. If there is anything Godlike about God it is that. He dared to imagine everything." "Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense." "When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat." More In Art "In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it."― Ernst Fischer "Politics is the art of choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable."― John Kenneth Galbraith "Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason."― Albert Camus
