"All life is a risk, but that is no reason for panic. In the normal course
of things it ends in death.. but to anyone
who is clear about the risks of life and learns to confront them with open eyes, the inscrutable, humanized in art form,
becomes comprehensible and thus loses its terror."
kokoscha, quoted by berger in selected essays
"When corruption goes far enough, when the human possibilities are denied
with sufficent ruthlessness, both ravager
and victim are made bestial"

"the despair of an artist is often misunderstood. it is never total. it excepts his own work. In his own work, however
low his opinion of it may be, there is hope of a reprieve. An artists work constitutes his relationship with his fellow men."
