““The object of art is not to make salable pictures. It is to save yourself. The fools who write articles about me think that one morning I suddenly decided to write and began to produce masterpieces. There is no special trick about writing or painting either. I wrote constantly for 15 years before I produced anything with any solidity to it… The thing of course, is to make yourself alive. Most people remain all of their lives in a stupor. The point of being an artist is that you may live… You won't arrive. It is an endless search.””
