I'm known as a light artist. But rather than be someone who depicted light, or painted light in some way, I wanted to have the work be light.

Light is not so much something that reveals, as it is itself the revelation.

With no object no image and no focus, what are you looking at? You are looking at you looking.

My desire is to set up a situation to which I take you and let you see. It becomes your experience.

Space has a way of looking. It seems like it has a presence of vision. When you come into it, it is there, it’s been waiting for you.

My work is about your seeing. There is a rich tradition in painting of work about light, but it is not light -- it is the record of seeing. My material is light, and it is responsive to your seeing.

I am not an Earth artist, I'm totally involved in the sky.

Science strives for answers, but art is happy with a good question.

I've always felt that night doesn't fall. Night rises. There are these incidences in flying where you just sit there. It's one of the best seats in the house.

I like when you feel like you arrive in a very different place, with a different ordering of the reality you normally think of.

We create the reality in which we live.

A man who walks with God always gets to his destination.

College is about exposing students to many things and creating an aphrodisiac atmosphere so that they might fall in lifelong love with a few.

Not everything happens for a reason. Sometimes life just sucks.

If you haven't met Satan recently, you are probably going his way!

Some of what I wrote bordered on blasphemy....If there was a God, He would have to be truth. And in that case, candor--however impertinent--would be more pleasing to Him than posturing.

Well, there's no other person like me. Ain't nobody else like me. It's flattering. I don't like to do it too much because I get tired of me. But people ask, so I get to do it every now and then.

But in spite of the obvious effectiveness of mathematics in physics, I have never heard of a good a prioriargument that the world must be organised to mathematical principles.

One is responsible for one's own life. Passivity provides no protection.

The Gunman is useless. I know it. He knows it. The whole bank knows it.

Stop waiting for others to change. Recognize that every person has the right to be whatever they choose-even if you irritate yourself about it.
