These artists pay little attention to an encircling present that bears no direct relation to the world of work in which they live, and they therefore see in it nothing more than an indifferent framework for life, either more or less favorable to production.

Thomas Mann

Disease, and most specially opprobrious, suppressed, secret disease, creates a certain critical opposition to the world, to mediocre life, disposes a man to be obstinate and ironical toward civil order, so that he seeks refuge in free thought, in books, in study.

Thomas Mann

What an absurd torture for the artist to know that an audience identifies him with a work that, within himself, he has moved beyond and that was merely a game played with something in which he does not believe.

Thomas Mann

Genius is a form of the life force that is deeply versed in illness, that both draws creatively from it and creates through it.

Thomas Mann

To allow only the kind of art that the average man understands is the worst small-mindedness and the murder of mind and spirit. It is my conviction that the intellect can be certain that in doing what most disconcerts the crowd, in pursuing the most daring, unconventional advances and explorations, it will in some highly indirect fashion serve man - and in the long run, all men.

Thomas Mann

Dobrze wiemy, że odzwyczajenie się i przyzwyczajenie do czegos nowego jest jedynym środkiem, który utrzymuje nasze życie, odświeża nasz zmysł czasu -- jedynym, dzięki któremu możemy odmłodzić, wzmocnić, zwolnić nasze przeżywanie czasu i tym samym odnowić nasze poczucie życia w ogóle.

Thomas Mann

...niebo należy pozostawić wróblom.
