Nothing is more to me than myself.

The State calls its own violence, law; but that of the individual, crime.

Whoever will be free must make himself free. Freedom is no fairy gift to fall into a man's lap. What is freedom? To have the will to be responsible for one's self.

Freedom cannot be granted. It must be taken.

Whoso is full of sacred (religious, moral, humane) love loves only the spook, the "true man," and persecutes with dull mercilessness the individual, the real man.

We don't call it sin today, we call it self-expression.

Religion itself is without genius. There is no religious genius and no one would be permitted to distinguish between the talented and the untalented in religion.

My power is my property. My power gives me property. My power am I myself, and through it am I my property.

If it is right for me, it is right. It is possible that it is wrong for others: let them take care of themselves!

You can never really own real estate for instance; if you think you can, just try not paying your property taxes for a few years.

An opening and a receptiveness to design and pattern for its own sake seems to free the painting hand.

My goal is to create an image that would remind you of something that you haven't seen before.

The musician and the listener. If this is love between two strangers watching each other from afar, that rough, burning moment when you rush in and kiss is the show.
