I am for an art that takes into account the direct effect of the elements as they exist from day to day apart from representation.

Cultural confinement takes place when a curator imposes his own limits on an art exhibition, rather than asking an artist to set his limits.

A vacant white room with lights is still a submission to the neutral. Works of art seen in such spaces seem to be going through a kind of esthetic convalescence.

Instead of causing us to remember the past like the old monuments, the new monuments seem to cause us to forget the future

Art history is less explosive than the rest of history, so it sinks faster into the pulverized regions of time.

Museums are tombs, and it looks like everything is turning into a museum.

A work of art when placed in a gallery loses its charge, and becomes a portable object or surface disengaged from the outside world.

Artists themselves are not confined, but their output is.

Banal words function as a feeble phenomena that fall into their own mental bogs of meaning.

Nature does not proceed in a straight line, it is rather a sprawling development.

Establish enigmas, not explanations.

Much Madness is Divinest Sense, to a Discerning Eye....

How wise should we be if, with joyful certainty, we accepted each unfolding of His will as a proof of His faithfulness and love!

An adolescent is both an impulsive child and a self-starting adult.

We can't plan life. All we can do is be available for it.

I think we want to see new voices and new ideas emerge - that's part of the reason why term limits are a really useful thing.

Where I come from, they don't think much of men who are bossed about by their wives.

[Nancy Reagan] took that career, that obviously mattered to her, and just tucked it away in a box, because she thought, "That's over with now. I'm going to make wifehood my career."

Streams of melting snow.

The best way to learn a language may be an episode of jail in a foreign country.

One will feel the same subtle nausea coming into the city or waiting to depart from it that one feels now in such plastic catacombs as O'Hare's reception center in Chicago.
