"Art consists in going the full length. If you start with the drums you have to end with dynamite, or TNT."
Intensity
"One can be absolutely truthful and sincere even though admittedly the most outrageous liar. Fiction and invention are of the very fabric of life."

"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."
Life
"But you can't put fight into a man's guts if hehasn't any fight in him. There are some of us so cowardly that youcan't ever make heroes of us, not even if you frighten us to death.We know too much, maybe. There are some of us who don't live in themoment, who live a little ahead, or a little behind."
Courage
"The world is a cancer eating itself away... I am think that when the great silence descends upon all and everywhere music will at last triumph. When into the womb of time everything is again withdrawn chaos will be restored and chaos is the score upon which reality is written."
Philosophy
"You can forgive a young cunt anything. A young cunt doesn't have to have brains. They're better without brains. But an old cunt, even if she's brilliant, even if she's the most charming woman in the world, nothing makes any difference. A young cunt is an investment; an old cunt is a dead loss. All they can do for you is buy you things. But that doesn't put meat on their arms or juice between their legs."
