Excerpt from The Statuette and the Background

What I care for is the inner life. Feelings are everything. Of course, they can lead - many say they must lead - to works of some kind, to expression, or to action. But these works them selves are ultimately of use only on account of the feelings they excite, or at least make possible. What would be the use of feeding a person who had always ugly feelings? Now, a state of mind can be beautiful in itself. It need not lead anywhere; it has got there already.
