• It would be an endless battle if it were all up to ego
  because it does not destroy and is not destroyed by itself
  It is like a wave
  it makes itself up, it rushes forward getting nowhere really
  it crashes, withdraws and makes itself up again
  pulls itself together with pride
  towers with pride
  rushes forward into imaginary conquest
  crashes in frustration
  withdraws with remorse and repentance
  pulls itself together with new resolution

  Agnes Martin

  Pride, Frustration, Ego

  Agnes Martin, Lawrence Alloway (1973). “Agnes Martin: Exhibition January 22 to March 1, 1973”
