“For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity.

A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.”
