Official Art

“[...] my young friend, there is two kinds of art, never forget this, there is art and there is official art. How can you, my poor young friend, hope to be official art. Just look at yourself. Supposing an important personage came to France, and wantednto meet the representative painters and have his portait painted. My dear young friend, just look at yourself, the very sight of you would terrify him. You are a nice youngman, gentle and intelligent, but to the important personage you would not seem so, you would be terrible. No they need as representative painter a medium sized, slightly stout man, not too well dressed but dressed in the fashion of his class, neither bald or well brushed hair and a respectful bow with it. You can see that you would not do. So never say another word about official recogition, or if you do look in the mirror and think of important personages. No, my dear young friend there is art and there is official art, there always has been and there always will be.”

Something About Death
04:44
|
|||
“Let us talk not about disease but about death. If nobody had to die how would there be room enough for any of us who now live to have lived. We never could have been if all the others had not died. There would have been no room. Now the relation of human nature to the human mind is this. Human nature does not know this. Human nature cannot know this. What is it that human nature does not know. Human nature does not know that if every one did not die there would be no room for those who live now. Human nature can not know this. Now the relation of human nature to the human mind is this. Human nature cannot know this. But the human mind can. It can know this.”

Money is Money is Money

“Money is what words are. Words are what money is. Is money what words are. Are words what money is. There can be no romance without nature, there can be no money without words. There can be nature without words. And so nature is not what money is. There can be music without words. So there can be no music where words are. Therefore music has nothing to do with money and with words.”

A Tender Button
04:01
|

“In the inside there is sleeping, in the outside there is reddening, in the morning there is meaning, in the evening there is feeling. In the evening there is feeling. In feeling anything is resting, in feeling anything is mounting, in feeling there is resignation, in feeling there is recognition, in feeling there is recurrence and entirely mistaken there is pinching. All the standards have steamers and all the curtains have bed linen and all the yellow has discrimination and all the circle has circling. This makes sand.”

"FAUSTUS : The devil what the devil what do I care if the devil is there.What do I care there is no here nor there. What am I. I am Doctor Faustus who knows everything can do everything and you say it was through you but not at all, if I had not been in a hurry and if I had taken my time I would have known how to make white electric light and day-light and night light and what did I do I saw you miserable devil I saw you and I was deceived and I believed miserable devil I thought I needed you, and I thought I was tempted by the devil and I know no temptation is tempting unless the devil tells you so. And you wanted my soul what the hell did you want my soul for, how do you know I have a soul, who says so nobody says so but you the devil and everybody knows the devil is all lies, so how do you know how do I know that I have a soul to sell how do you know Mr. Devil oh Mr. Devil how can you tell you can not tell anything and I I who know everything I keep on having so much light that light is not bright and what after all is the use of light, you can see just as well without it, you can go around just as well without it you can get up and go to bed just as well without it, and I I wanted to make it and the devil take it yes you devil you do not even want it and I sold my soul to make it. I have it but have I a soul to pay for it.”
