All creations demand greenery of spirt. 

Most people haven't got a point of view; they need to have it given to them––and what's more, they expect it from you.

All my life I’ve pursued the perfect red. I can never get painters to mix it for me. It’s exactly as if I’d said, ‘I want rococo with a spot of Gothic in it and a bit of Buddhist temple’—they have no idea what I’m talking about. About the best red is to copy the color of a child’s cap in any Renaissance portrait.

The West is boring itself to death! And talking itself to death!
