“The Bible was very definitely written by men, and not superior men either; far from it! This is why so much of it can be shown to be historically and scientifically dead wrong about damned-near everything back-to-front.”

“Nota: 1960s, "Specific Objects," 1965, Context: A work needs only to be interesting. Most works finally have one quality. In earlier art the complexity was displayed and built the quality. In recent painting the complexity was in the format and the few main shapes, which had been made according to various interests and problems. A painting by Newman is finally no simpler than one by Cezanne. In the three-dimensional work the whole thing is made according to complex purposes, and these are not scattered but asserted by one form. It isn't necessary for a work to have a lot of things to look at, to compare, to analyze one by one, to contemplate. The thing as a whole, its quality as a whole, is what is interesting. The main things are alone and are more intense, clear and powerful. p. 77.

“There's no reason for you to love me | after all of the heartaches we've been through. | But I love you, I just can't help it. | You're so beautiful, what else shall I do? | You say you didn't make me love you | and you tell me that you're not to blame. | But it still hurt me the same. | Darling, love is not a game. | 'Cause it hurts, oh. | It hurts, yeah.

“Why should Titian and the Venetians be named in a discourse on art? Such idiots are not artists.”

William Blake (1757–1827) poeta, incisore e pittore inglese

“It is for this reason that art, true art, the one that comes from the soul, is so important in our lives. Art consoles us, it lifts us and directs us. Art cures us. We are not only that which we eat and the air that we breathe. We are also the stories we have heard, the tales we fell asleep listening to when we were children, the books we have read, the music we heard and the emotions that a painting, a statue, or a poem have given us.

L'arte, quella vera, quella che viene dall'anima, è così importante nella nostra vita. L'arte ci consola, ci solleva, l'arte ci orienta. L'arte ci cura. Noi non siamo solo quello che mangiamo e l'aria che respiriamo. Siamo anche le storie che abbiamo sentito, le favole con cui ci hanno addormentato da bambini, i libri che abbiamo letto, la musica che abbiamo ascoltato e le emozioni che un quadro, una statua, una poesia ci hanno dato.
