This is what Munch had to say about his atypical brain, and the meaning of "indistinguishable": "A German once said to me: 'But you could rid yourself of many of your troubles.' To which I replied: 'They are part of me and my art. They are indistinguishable from me, and it would destroy my art.'" (from Edvard Munch: The Man and His Art) |
