We are not moving towards some kind of goal. We are at the goal, and it is changing with us. If art has any purpose, it is to open our eyes to that fact.

Art has to change things, and if it was immediately acceptable it would not be doing the job.

Art is not about understanding, it’s about experience.

Our appearance belongs to others, we live in the darkness of the body-part of all darkness but felt.

Art is the means by which we communicate what it feels like to be alive.

The elemental world we all live in is the darkness of the body.

I want to start where language ends.

Art is not about objects of high monetary exchange. It's about reasserting our firsthand experience in present time.

I was educated by monks - I thank them dearly for the education they gave me, but I am no longer a Catholic.

It is as much the conversations between objects as between us and objects that make museums so valuable.

I have to say that I reject somewhat the distinction between something called art and something called public art. I think all art demands and desires to be seen.

If letting go, if letting people and things work themselves out in the way that they needed to without your help was the most important thing, then it was also the hardest.

I hold that the perfection of form and beauty is contained in the sum of all men.

Many a spoken word is more piercing than an attack.

If you want to know what you were conditioned to believe as a child, look at how you treat yourself now.

My first instrument was the piano; I played in the church, and before that I sang in church. I didnt learn the guitar until I was 24 years old.

I don't know whether it's age or maturity, but I certainly find myself committed more and more to the looser forms of Western democracy at any price.

We all have days where we can't pronounce things or give it the emotion it deserves.

One who hooks his fortune to ahimsa, the law of love, daily lessens the circle of destruction and to that extent promotes life and love.

Boat is nothing without water and man without his dreams!

Unfortunately, moral beauty in art - like physical beauty in a person - is extremely perishable.
