“The antithesis of a real and apparent world is lacking... there is only one world and it is false, cruel, contradictory, seductive without meaning — A world thus constituted is the real world. We have need of lies in order to conquer this reality "Life ought to inspire confidence": the task thus imposed is tremendous. To solve it man must be a liar by nature, he must be above all an artist... Art and nothing but art! It is the great means of making life possible, the great seduction to life, the great stimulant of life.”
