“Without magic, there is no art. Without art, there is no idealism. Without idealism, there is no integrity. Without integrity, there is nothing but production.”

“Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.”

“There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity.”

“There is no science without fancy and no art without fact.”

“Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.”

“Life without industry is guilt, and industry without art is brutality.”

“Life without labor is crime, and labor without art is brutality.”

“There is no art without contemplation.”

“One must not always think that feeling is everything. Art is nothing without form.”

“Art is magic. So say the surrealists. But how is it magic? In its metaphysical development? Or does some final transformation culminate in a magic reality? In truth, the latter is impossible without the former. If creation is not magic, the outcome cannot be magic. To worship the product and ignore its development leads to dilettantism and reaction. Art cannot result from sophisticated, frivolous, or superficial effects.”
