"If all artists could see the crossroads of these
celestial paths,
if they could comprehend these monstrous runways and the
weaving
of our bodies with the clouds in the sky, then they would not paint
chrysanthemums"

Realism in Painting", 1915

« It is a sort of absolute rule that everywhere, in all places, at all times of civilization, in all beliefs, by all means and in all regards, the untrue supports the true ; the true gives the untrue as its ancestor, as its cause, as its author, as its origin and its end, without exception nor remedy, and the true engenders this untrue by which it itself demands to be engendered.»
Paul Valery, Petite lettre sur les mythes, 1928
