If only people were trees… I might like them better.

I have a single track mind. I work on an idea for a long time. It's like getting acquainted with a person, and I don't get acquainted easily.

I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down.

Filling a space in a beautiful way - that is what art means to me.

I believe I would rather have Stieglitz like something - anything I had done - than anyone else I know.

Sun-bleached bones were most wonderful against the blue - that blue that will always be there as it is now after all man's destruction is finished.

You get whatever accomplishment you are willing to declare.
