The basis of art is truth, both in matter and in mode.

The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you odd.

I preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebody else's. But behind all of them there is only one truth and that is that there's no truth.

The truth is not distorted here, but rather a distortion is used to get at truth.

I preach there are all kinds of truth, your truth and somebody else's, but behind all of them, there's only one truth and that is that there is no truth... No truth behind all truths is what I and this church preach! Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to never was there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it. Where is there a place for you to be? No place... In yourself right now is all the place you've got.
