Hitler in the Madhouse Quotes

“So, like so many artists before me, my comrades-in-arms, Rembrandt, Rubens, da Vinci, Caravaggio, Michelangelo, anyone who willingly put themselves through this same ordeal, I purchased everything I needed and began hauling my canvases, easel, and paints all over the large metropolis of Vienna every day. I searched for my voice, my signature, what made my paintings inherently and unmistakably mine.”

“AH: A great artist is imperative to society, doctor, because that person decides to pursue the uncertain future of an artist for no other reason than to create art and improve life for everybody. Art is self-determining and undemocratic. It’s a meritocracy. And anyone with any sense at all understands that art is the soothing slave on the irritating wound that is life. DR: Did you just make that up? AH: Yes. DR. That’s very good.”
