“Love is a scandal of the personal sort.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (18601904)
“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.”
—Henry Miller (18911980)
