Ester Krumbachová & Miroslav Lamač

"It's interesting, isn't it, how everything has died off—all those fools who drive people into wars, and the idiots who go into them. But the artistic soul, given to humans by God, NEVER died. It always rose again from its seeming grave. As I was lying there just now, I was reading Thoughts of Modern Painters, written by Miroslav Lamač, my dear and departed friend, and I felt good again—because there are so many people in this world who will never die in spirit. People like that, who truly live, don't need success or money—they remain, and it doesn't matter in which century they lived."
