Quotes by Giorgio de Chirico

"

Any artist worthy of this name strives without ceasing, with all his forces, towards progress, towards perfection. Perfection is the supreme, ideal, unattainable goal that shines like a beacon on the stormy seas of art. It drives the true artist to work better and better in order to be happy. Striving for perfection is synonymous with aspiring to happiness, to the ultimate happiness, which is a mirage just as perfection is, at least in this adventure of our life.
