Every young man's heart is a graveyard in which are inscribed the names of a thousand dead artists but whose only actual denizens are a few mighty, often antagonistic, ghosts.
Andre Malraux
Though man's feeling for the other-worldly often has recourse to solitude, solitude does not foster its development rather, it is nourished by communion, to which the church is more propitious than the cemetery.
Andre Malraux
