“The rhetorician would deceive his neighbours,
The sentimentalist himself; while art
Is but a vision of reality.
What portion in the world can the artist have
Who has awakened from the common dream
But dissipation and despair?”

“Only the person who has experienced light and darkness, war and peace, rise and fall, only that person has truly experienced life.”
