yes is a world & in this world of yes live (skilfully curled) all worlds
e. e. cummings
Damn everything but the circus! ...damn everything that is grim, dull, motionless, unrisking, inward turning, damn everything that won't get into the circle, that won't enjoy.

e. e. cummings
Art is a mystery. A mystery is something immeasurable.
e. e. cummings
Every artist's strictly illimitable country is himself. An artist who plays that country false has committed suicide and even a good lawyer cannot kill the dead. But a human being who's true to himself - whoever himself may be - is immortal and all the atomic bombs of all the antiartists in spacetime will never civilize immortality.
e. e. cummings
The Artist is no other than he who unlearns what he has learned, in order to know himself.
