    “Despite the hundreds of attempts, police terror and the concentration camps have proved to be more or less impossible subjects for the artist; since what happened to them was beyond the imagination, it was therefore also beyond art and all those human values on which art is traditionally based.”
    —A. Alvarez (b. 1929)

    “No one is promiscuous in his way of dying. A man who has decided to hang himself will never jump in front of a train.”
    —A. Alvarez (b. 1929)

    “Despair, in short, seeks its own environment as surely as water finds its own level.”
    —A. Alvarez (b. 1929)
