Welles' reflections on Art (F for Fake)

In this monologue included in "F for Fake", Orson Welles reflects on the transiency of Man and Art, in which is one of the most poetic speeches about the topic.

"Our works in stone, in paint, in print are spared, some of them for a few decades, or a millennium or two, but everything must finally fall in war or wear away into the ultimate and universal ash. The triumphs and the frauds, the treasures and the fakes. A fact of life. We're going to die. 'Be of good heart', cry the dead artists out of the living past. Our songs will all be silenced -- but what of it? Go on singing. Maybe a man's name doesn't matter all that much."
