“Deus est filius dei. | Tutte le macchine al potere | gli uomini a pane ed acqua. | And what is cosmos? | What is the meaning of the world? | History is bunk.”

“In un articolo pubblicato da un settimanale britannico un professore dice che porsi domande di metafisica non ha maggior senso che domandarsi: «What is the colour of Wednesday?»”

“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.

“Dice che questa estate ci sarà la fine del mondo. | The end of the world, | berretto di pelo e sottanina di tàrtan. | Have we cold feet about the cosmos? ( da L'Ombrello e la Macchina da Cucire, n. 1)”

“True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven: It is not fantasy's hot fire, Whose wishes, soon as granted, fly; It liveth not in fierce desire, With dead desire it doth not die; It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie, Which heart to heart, and mind to mind In body and in soul can bind.

“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.
