We read that the Cure of Ars was hurled out of bed. He got away lightly. What Satan and his devils can do is . . . We can speak of heaven as a community of persons in glory. For all of these reasons community .

In a moment of rare honesty among many artists, Picasso once admitted how depressed he had allowed himself to become. In art the mass of the people no longer seek consolation and exaltation, but those who are refined, rich, unoccupied, who are distillers of quintessences, seek what is new, strange, original, extravagant, scandalous. I myself, since Cubism and before, have satisfied these masters and critics with all the changing oddities which have passed through my head, and the less they understood me, the more they admired me. By amusing myself with all these games, with all these absurdities, puzzles, rebuses, arabesques, I became famous and that very quickly. And fame for a painter means sales, gains, fortune, riches.
