Unlearning is the choice, conscious or unconscious, of any real artist. And it is the true sign of maturity.

Like all great fantasists, he has taught me about life, life in eternity rather than chronology, life in that time in which we are real.

We do live, all of us, on many different levels, and for most artists the world of imagination is more real than the world of the kitchen sink.

If we accept that we have at least an iota of free will, we cannot throw it back the moment things go wrong. Like a human parent, God will help us when we ask for help, but in a way that will make us more mature, more real, not in a way that will diminish us.
