When we are no longer children we are already dead

Children seem to need, then, a delicate balance between the realistic and the fantastic in their art; enough of the realistic to know that the story matters, enough of the fantastic to make what matters wonderful

The imaginary is not formed in opposition to reality as its denial or compensation; it grows among signs, from book to book, in the interstice of repetitions and commentaries; it is born and takes shape in the interval between books. It is the phenomena of the library.

Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave.

Simplicity is complexity resolved.

Simplicity is not an objective in art, but one achieves simplicity despite one's self by entering into the real sense of things.
