Alexander Theroux - From the Artists category:
Artists are never complete people. But if it's art that completes them, then what is taken away? (Alexander Theroux)
Alexander Theroux - From the Critics category:
One's style holds one, thankfully, at bay from the enemies of it but not from the stupid crucifixions by those who must willfully misunderstand it. (Alexander Theroux)
Alexander Theroux - From the Envy category:
Nothing is more subtly destructive than a closed circle of artists feeding on one another. Envy grows from insignificant differences between people, not from overwhelming inequalities... it was envy that forced them to emulate each other, not esteem. (Alexander Theroux)
Alexander Theroux - From the Fire category:
Why should a blacksmith put his hands in the fire if he has tongs? (Alexander Theroux)
Alexander Theroux - From the Hypocrisy category:
Hypocrisy is the essence of snobbery, but all snobbery is about the problem of belonging. (Alexander Theroux)
Alexander Theroux - From the Loneliness category:
Nothing is quite as bad as being without privacy and lonely at the same time. (Alexander Theroux)
Alexander Theroux - From the Love category:
A lover is never a completely self-reliant person viewing the world through his own eyes, but a hostage to a certain delusion. (Alexander Theroux)
Alexander Theroux - From the Models category:
Being natural is one of the most irritating poses I know in people. (Alexander Theroux)
Alexander Theroux - From the Pets category:
It's true, you can never eat a pet you name. And anyway, it would be like a ventriloquist eating his dummy. (Alexander Theroux)
Alexander Theroux - From the Silence category:
Silence is the unbearable repartee. (Alexander Theroux)
Alexander Theroux - From the Style category:
Where there is no style, there is in effect no point of view. There is, essentially, no anger, no conviction, no self. Style is opinion, hung washing, the calibre of a bullet, teething beads... (Alexander Theroux)
