I wanted to kill art for myself.. ..a new thought for that object.

Humor is the only reason to live.

I believe that a picture, a work of art, lives and dies just as we do.

I'm not at all sure that the concept of the readymade isn't the most important single idea to come out of my work.

I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.

The individual, man as a man, man as a brain, if you like, interests me more than what he makes, because I've noticed that most artists only repeat themselves.

Unless a picture shocks, it is nothing.
