I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.

Why do you not do as I do? Letting go of your thoughts as though they were the cold ashes of a long dead fire?

The world, the real is not an object. It is a process.

Nothing more than nothing can be said.

I want to change my way of seeing, NOT my way of feeling. I was perfectly happy about my feelings.

What I'm proposing, to myself and other people, is what I often call the tourist attitude - that you act as though you've never been there before. So that you're not supposed to know anything about it. If you really get down to brass tacks, we have never been anywhere before.

People who aren't artists often feel that artists are inspired. But if you work at your art you don't have time to be inspired.
