"Wenn wir nach Tätigkeiten suchen, die sich mit dem Schaffen des bildenden Künstlers vergleichen lassen, bieten sich eigentlich nur zwei geistige Berufe an: der des Dichters und jener des Philosophen, denn diese beiden verfolgen ähnliche Ziele wie der Künstler. Wie der bildende Künstler wollen auch diese beiden nur eines: ihr Verständnis der Wirklichkeit so konkret wie möglich zum Ausdruck bringen."
