“What is line? It is life. A line must live at each point along its course in such a way that the artists presence makes itself felt above that of the model.... With the writer, line takes precedence over form and content. It runs through the words he assembles. It strikes a continuous note unperceived by ear or eye. It is, in a way, the souls style, and if the line ceases to have a life of its own, if it only describes an arabesque, the soul is missing and the writing dies.”
—Jean Cocteau (18891963)
“But theres always been rich and poor, and thats all there is to it. And us two wont change it, either.
The carpenter calmly puffs away: Only the ones that likes it ought to be poor. Let the others have a try at it first. I aint got no liking for it. A fellow gets tired of it after a while.”
—Alfred Döblin (18781957)
