Our intention is to affirm this life, not to bring order out of chaos, nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply to wake up to the very life we're living, which is so excellent once one gets one's mind and desires out of its way and lets it act of it's own accord.

As far as consistency of thought goes, I prefer inconsistency.

All God's religions ... have not been able to put mankind back together again.

A mind that is interested in changing...is interested precisely in the things that are at extremes. I'm certainly like that. Unless we go to extremes, we won't get anywhere.

If my work is accepted, I must move on to the point where it is not.

Everything I see is something I haven't memorized.

Our business in living is to become fluent with the life we are living, and art can help this.
