"Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere." — Gilbert Keith Chesterton

A book ought to be the ax to break the frozen sea within us

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author

The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese

There is nothing new in art except talent

An artist will betray himself by some sort of sincerity

An artist's flair is sometimes worth a scientist's brains
