कलाकार का अपने काम के साथ यह एकांत, जिसे कभी-कभी स्वार्थ समझ लिया जाता है, वास्तव में किसी भी अन्य औजार की तरह उतना ही ज़रूरी है, यदि वह अपनीिकल्पना को दूसरों के सामने स्पष्ट रूप से रखना चाहता है। और जितने भी रचनात्मक लोगों को मैं जानता हूँ, उन्होंने इसे हासिल किया है; या तो व्यावहारिक रूप से कार्यकक्ष की दीवारों के सहारे, या फिर उस आत्म-विस्मृति के ज़रिए जो उनकी अपनी शक्ति का एक हिस्सा है।
This seclusion of the artist with his work, sometimes misconceived as a selfish thing, is in truth as needful a tool as any, if a vision is to be made clear to others. And all the men I have known do creative work obtained it; either mechanically, by the walls of a workroom, or by that withdrawal into themselves which is part of their power.

वैसे, काश मैं यह जान पाता कि समय को अनंत काल से किसने अलग किया; मुझे तो केवल एक ही चीज़ नज़र आती है, और मुझे हमेशा ऐसा महसूस होता है कि मैं अनंत काल का ही एक हिस्सा हूँ।
I wish, by the way, that I knew who separated Time from eternity; there seems only one thing to me, and I always feel that I am in eternity.

यह मेरा एक नियम रहा है कि जो चीज़ मुझे सचमुच बेहतरीन लगती है, उसे पाने की कोशिश में मैं कभी मेहनत से नहीं कतराता और बाद में उसकी कीमत चुकाने से भी पीछे नहीं हटता।
It is a device of mine never to grudge trouble in the pursuit of what seems to me really good and never to grudge payment for it afterwards.

हमें उस शराब की कीमत चुकानी ही होगी जो हमने पी है।
We must pay for the wine we have drunk.

मैं यह माने बिना नहीं रह सकता कि कम उम्र में मौत हो जाना हमारी नियति की योजना का हिस्सा नहीं है, और इसके लिए काफी हद तक हम खुद ज़िम्मेदार हैं। वास्तव में, मेरा मानना है कि हम अभी जीने की कला के शुरुआती दौर में ही हैं।
I cannot help thinking that the death of the young is not in the plan of our being, and that we are ourselves greatly responsible for it. Indeed I believe we are at the beginning only of the art of living.
