It seems with progress you gain certain things and you lose certain things. The automobile replaced the horse and buggy but you lost all of that nice manure.

Art is the exclusion of the unnecessary.

A man climbs a mountain because it is there. An artist makes a work of art because it is not there.

My art springs from my desire to have things in the world which would otherwise never be there.

Art is an intersection of many human needs.

What do little kids do? They crawl on the floor and they build with blocks. I just continued to do that for the rest of my life.

Art is what we do. Culture is what is done to us. A photograph of an art object is not the art object. An essay about an artist's work is not the artist's work.

A place is an area within an environment that has been altered in such a way to make the general environment more conspicuous.

Once you turn something into something, its universal usage is over.

Why carve? It's a better sculpture that way. I'll never improve the block. So I just started using uncarved blocks.

If you're any good as an artist, you have to be doing something nobody else has interest in. Nobody would be interested in my work except a few crazy people.

Your dreams become your reality if you have the courage to act on them.

We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are.

All things acceptable to God the Father must come from God the Son, whether us or our works.

Love doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be true.

I think it's reasonable to suppose that one could oscillate between being biologically 20 and biologically 25 indefinitely.

The ultimate purpose of every teaching, every activity in the Church is that parents and their children are happy at home, sealed in an eternal marriage, and linked to their generations.

The trouble with the world is not that people know too little; it's that they know so many things that just aren't so.

I love the theater. I love being on stage; I love the live audience. I also love dressing up and all of the make-believe.

Education is the instruction of the intellect in the laws of Nature.

The older I get, the less I am bothered by talk like that. I have total faith in my coach Yohan Blake, total faith.
