Emile Zola
I am an artist... I am here to live out loud.
Emile Zola
Inability, human incapacity, is the only boundary to an art.
Emile Zola
If something's just, I'll let myself be hacked to bits for it.

Why then should money be blamed for all the dirt and crimes it causes? For is love less filthy -- love which creates life?
Emile Zola
Everything is only a dream.
