Humor is the only reason to live.

Anything is art if an artist says it is.

All decisions in the artistic execution of the work rest with pure intuition and cannot be translated into a self-analysis.

I feel shame, not for the wrong things I have done, but for the right things that I have failed to do.

In my day artists wanted to be outcasts, pariahs. Now they are all integrated into society

Society takes what it wants. The artist himself does not count, because there is no actual existence for the work of art. The work of art is always based on the two poles of the onlooker and the maker, and the spark that comes from the bipolar action gives birth to something - like electricity. But the onlooker has the last word, and it is always posterity that makes the masterpiece. The artist should not concern himself with this, because it has nothing to do with him.

Since the tubes of paint used by the artist are manufactured and ready made products we must conclude that all the paintings in the world are 'readymades aided' and also works of assemblage.
