“No, no puedo decirle lo espeluznante que me resultó mirar con él esos cien o doscientos pedazos de papel vacíos o reproducciones en mal estado, pero que, en la memoria de ese hombre en su trágica ignorancia, eran tan increíblemente reales que sin error celebraba y describía cada uno de ellos en una sucesión intachable. Aquella colección invisible que hacía tiempo debía de haber sido esparcida a los cuatro vientos, para ese ciego, para esa persona engañada de manera conmovedora, todavía estaba allí, inmutable, y la pasión que mostraba al verla era tan abrumadora que casi comencé a creer en ella.”

“No, no quiero… Pero soy una princesa. Y una princesa no debe tener en cuenta sus sentimientos. Una princesa se entrega, rendida, en manos de su rey. Soy una buena princesa, con sangre de siglos en las venas para obedecer y sonreír. A pesar de todo, lo he aprendido: una princesa no le da calabazas al emperador de Austria. Aunque le cueste la vida.”

It was like a storage chest where she was piling more stuff all the time, but when you opened the lid, there was nothing there. The chest was empty. Where’d all that knowledge go? To hell! See, she couldn’t talk about any of what she was reading, because that knowledge in her head was ripening into a tool of darkness.”

“No, not at all. I’m an atheist. You could say that I’m agnostic, but that’s just a certain kind of atheist (laughs). An atheist is someone who lacks a belief in a supernatural, and that’s me. I can’t say with absolute certainty that there is nothing beyond the material world, but there’s no reason for me to think there is. If I were a gambling man I would put all my money on there not being anything other than this universe.”

“No, not of course at all—it is really all hocus-pocus. The days lengthen in the winter-time, and when the longest comes, the twenty-first of June, the beginning of summer, they begin to go downhill again, toward winter. You call that ‘of course’; but if one once loses hold of the fact that it is of course, it is quite frightening, you feel like hanging on to something. It seems like a practical joke—that spring begins at the beginning of winter, and autumn at the beginning of summer. You feel you’re being fooled, led about in a circle, with your eye fixed on something that turns out to be a moving point. A moving point in a circle. For the circle consists of nothing but such transitional points without any extent whatever; the curvature is incommensurable, there is no duration of motion, and eternity turns out to be not ‘straight ahead’ but ‘merry-go-round’!”

“No nude, however abstract, should fail to arouse in the spectator some vestige of erotic feeling, even if it be only the faintest shadow - and if it does not do so it is bad art and false morals.”
Source: The nude: a study in ideal form
“No nude, however abstract, should fail to arouse in the spectator some vestige of erotic feeling... The desire to grasp and be united with another human is so fundamental a part of our nature that our judgement of what is known as 'pure form' is inevitably influenced by it, and one of the difficulties of the nude as a subject for art is that these instincts cannot be hidden.”
