"He was what Beethoven was in music, Dante in poetry, Raphael in painting, and Christ in the philosophy of life. He aspired to be divine—and he was."

"Everyone can be a great artist! Anyone that pretends to no more than anyone else is pretentious. Intellectuals are too far up their own ass. Poptimism is just as worthy as Beethoven, etc etc."
