—Lawrence Durrell (1912–1990)
“We artists are indestructible; even in a prison, or in a concentration camp, I would be almighty in my own world of art, even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
“... the great artists ... do not want security, egoistic or materialistic.”
