And who shall say how many passions and how many hostile thoughts may live together in the mind of man? - André Gide

Moi qui d'abord ne trouvais de goût qu'au passé, la subite saveur de l'instant m'a pu griser un jour, pensai-je, mais le futur désenchante l'heure présente, plus encore que le présent ne désenchanta le passé...

هنر، همکاری میان خدا و انسان است
و در این همکاری زمانی که انسان کمتر دخالت می کند
نتیجه عالی تر است
