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.

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.

On a superficial level, I like girls with dark hair - I'm a sucker for that.

All social rules and all relations between individuals are eroded by a cash economy, avarice drags Pluto himself out of the bowels of the earth.

Еhe older you get, the more baggage you have, and the harder it is to just split.

The music of life is in danger of being lost in the music of the voice.

Everything will come right if you are pure and sincere. We want hundreds like you bursting upon society and bringing new life and vigor of the spirit wherever they go.
