Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about. The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. I am not a model of anything. To define is to limit. Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes. The portrait is a reflection of my soul. ' Experience is merely the name men gave to their mistakes.' ' The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.' All art is quite useless. I am too fond of reading books to care to write them. ' The soul is a terrible reality.' The soul is a thing that is not to be seen. Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life. |
