It is passivity that dulls feeling.

Bleak factory buildings and billboard-cluttered avenues look as beautiful, through the camera's eye, as churches and pastoral landscapes.

The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.

I like to feel dumb. That’s how I know there’s more in the world than me.

The problems of this world are only truly solved in two ways: by extinction or duplication.
