I'd be a terrible rock artist, absolutely ghastly.
David BowieI do consider the human capacity for violence is the central issue of the social contract. In boxing we have a peculiarly civilized form, in that boxers don't screech and holler. They don't use weapons. All of this seems to me quite amazing, because it is so disciplined, so controlled. It's ritualized, but absolutely genuine. And the cultural structure built around that ritual is absolutely fascinating to me. And it seems to me that boxing is one of those structures that is designed to promote harmony. I think that it is a stove that contains that fire in us and makes it safe and useful.

Yes, all these things matter, relatively speaking, but they don't matter absolutely.There is something that matters more than any of those things and that is finding the essence of who you are beyond that short-lived entity, that short-lived personalized sense of self.

And . . . the opportunity to spend 70 or 80 years of your life in such a universe is time well spent as far as I am concerned.

Jay Presson AllenA lot of abstract painters seem to be doing everything all at once now. And so these different styles are jibing and not so jibing, and they're clashing.

Donald WatsonMy landscapes are not only beautiful, or nostalgic, with a Romantic or classical suggestion of lost Paradises, but above all 'untruthful.'

Gerhard Richter
