• It was never my goal to capitalize on punk. I could never make it as a commercial artist. I didn't back then and I still don't have the temperament and don't care for drawing or painting or making art for any other purposes other my own.

• I don't think you have to earn your income as an artist to be an artist. But if you are an artist, then art is what you do, whether or not you're paid for doing it; it is what you do, not what you are. I regard artist not as a description of temperament but as a category of profession, of vocation.

  Tony Kushner

• Two things, almost incompatible, are united in me in a manner which I am unable to understand: a very ardent temperament, lively and tumultuous passions, and, at the same time, slowly developed and confused ideas, which never present themselves until it is too late. One might say that my heart and my mind do not belong to the same person.

  Jean-Jacques Rousseau

• I live alone, perhaps for no good reason, for the reason that I am an impossible creature, set apart by a temperament I have never learned to use as it could be used, thrown off by a word, a glance, a rainy day, or one drink too many. My need to be alone is balanced against my fear of what will happen when suddenly I enter the huge empty silence if I cannot find support there. I go up to Heaven and down to Hell in an hour, and keep alive only by imposing upon myself inexorable routines. I write too many letters and too few poems.

• Toda madre lactante, en medio de su pequeña prole dependiente, tiene mucho más derecho a quejarse, enfurruñarse o regañar, según dicte su temperamento, porque no le preparan el bistec y el café exactamente a su gusto, que cualquier hombre que haya tenido o pueda tener durante la presente etapa de la evolución humana.

• Otros se empeñan en intentar alcanzar la precisión y el aplomo que ven en quienes tienen la habilidad de elegir entre un gran número de caballos aquellos con [...] cualidades que sólo se encuentran en un número muy reducido de caballos. Esto lleva a una circunstancia en la que estos imitadores de tan estudiado aplomo mortifican el espíritu de un caballo noble, y le quitan toda la bondad de temperamento que la Naturaleza le ha dado.

• I am quite likely to re-act to the opposite extreme - to feel rapturously that the world is beautiful and mere existence something to thank God for. I suppose our 'blues' are the price we have to pay for our temperament. 'The gods don't allow us to be in their debt.' They give us sensitiveness to beauty in all its forms but the shadow of the gift goes with it.

• Through an experience that simultaneously involved my sensibility and intelligence, I realized early on that the imaginative life, however morbid it might seem, is the one that suits temperaments like mine. The fictions of my imagination (as it later developed) may weary me, but they don't hurt or humiliate. Impossible lovers can't cheat on us, or smile at us falsely, or be calculating in their caresses. They never forsake us, and they don't die or disappear. --The book of Disquiet
