The inner nature of Artists always determines the way in which outward influences will have an effect: what leads one to starvation will train others for hard work. The Artist is greatest not in his mental qualities as such, but in the extent of his willingness to put all his abilities in the service of his Art. In the Artist the instinct for self-expression has reached its noblest form, since he willingly subordinates his own life to his Art and, if the hour demands, even sacrifices it.

Those who want to make Art, let them fight; and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to be Artists. The true Artist must know that the Struggle against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice can offer honor and fame in the eyes of posterity, but nothing in the present.

Our priorities can be counted on One hand:

1. Direct attitude in ambiguous situations

2. Being literal is a conceptual advantage

3. Humor is a weapon

4. Criticality is vital - everything else is an excuse for maintaining the power in place

5. We will fight till the END
