The world is very complicated and it is clearly impossible for the human mind to understand it completely. Man has therefore devised an artifice which permits the complicated nature of the world to be blamed on something which is called accidental and thus permits him to abstract a domain in which simple laws can be found Picture Quote #1

I am commonly opposed to those who modestly assume the rank of champions of liberty, and make a very patriotic noise about the people. It is the stale artifice which has duped the world a thousand times, and yet, though detected, it is still successful. I love liberty as well as anybody. I am proud of it, as the true title of our people to distinction above others; but... I would guard it by making the laws strong enough to protect it Picture Quote #1

Cold exactitude is not art; ingenious artifice, when it pleases or when it expresses, is art itself Picture Quote #1

Everything you do is so personal. In the end, it doesn’t matter so much if you write about your own life or not. It’s going to be as much artifice when it comes out as a piece of music. Everything is in character in a way. But that’s a great thing Picture Quote #1

Don’t make the mistake of believing it’s enough to reproduce the realities of life... The object of art is to give life a shape, and to do it by every conceivable artifice Picture Quote #1
