  1. Eric Frederick Jensen _ Debussy

    Those around me persist in not understanding that I have never been able to live in a real world of people and things. And that is why I have this irrefutable need to escape and become involved in adventures which seem inexplicable because they involve a man no one recognizes. And perhaps that is what is best in me! Besides, an artist by definition is a man accustomed to dreams and who lives among phantoms. . . . How could it be expected that this same person would be able to follow in his daily life the strict observance of traditions- laws and other barriers erected by a hypocritical and cowardly world. {Letter from Claude Debussy to Jacques Durand}"
