Anything important has to be almost invisible. And underrated. So the understructure should be underrated, but strong enough to hold the earth.

We use up words as we use up images. We use up everything, and that's good, because it makes us grow.

What I did for my last act as a painter, if you call me a painter, was to photograph the weave of the canvas, and enlarge it and enlarge it until it became like a landscape.

I always was alone. And I'm alone today. It's fine. I have lots of friends, but not in terms of working together.

Society likes to file you away, put you in this or that category. And I never fit any category. Maybe that's why I was left out of a lot of things, or why my work was not really understood, because there was no precedent for it.

People always understand everything in retrospect.

There's no precedent for women philosophers and there's no precedence for most of the things I did.
