"The aim of every artist is to
arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a
hundred years later, when
a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since
man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something
behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist's way
of scribbling "Kilroy was here" on the wall
of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.”
William Faulkner
And indeed
there will be time You wouldn't
believe how much it costs a man when he's got a little song-bird like you! It is the image
of the ungraspable phantom of life; and this is the key to it all. The truth is hidden – luckily, luckily.
Be liked and
you will never want.
And I knew that
it was better to live out one’s own absurdity than to die for that of
others.
