“Life isn't long enough for love and art.”

“One life isn't enough”

“Art isn't meaningless… It is in itself. It isn't in that it tries to make life less so.”

“time is a tree (this life one leaf)
but love is the sky and i am for you
just so long and long enough”

“In art as in love, instinct is enough.”

“Perhaps woman's art is of woman's life a thing apart, 'tis man's whole existence; just as love is said to be the reverse — though it isn't.”

“Music isn't enough. Performers aren't enough. There must be someone that loves music as much as life. For you, and remember this always, those of us with something urgent to say, we give everything.”

“To live your brief life rightly, isn't that enough?”

“Life isn't a support system for art. It's the other way around.”

“Love isn't just a feeling. It's an art. And like any art, it takes not only inspiration but also a lot of work.”
