• I wanted to revolutionise habits and contemporary life - to liberate nature, to free it from the authority of old theories and classicism... I felt a tremendous urge to re-create a new world seen through my own eyes, a world which was entirely mine.

• In the art of teaching, we recognize that ideas and insights need to cook over a period of time.
  Sometimes the student who is least articulate about expressing the ideas is in fact the one who is absorbing
  and processing them most deeply. This applies as well to our own private learning of our art form; the
  areas in which we feel most stuck and most incompetent may be our richest gold mine of developing
  material. The use of silence in teaching then becomes very powerful.

• This song of mine
  Is a song of the vine
  To be sung by the glowing embers
  Of wayside inns,
  When the rain begins
  To darken the drear Novembers. and
  For the richest and best
  Is the wind of the West
  That grows by the Beautiful River;
  Whose sweet perfume
  Fills all the room
  With a bension on the giver. and
  When you ask one friend to dine,
  Give hime your best wine!
  When you ask two,
  The second best will do.

  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

• It is rare that we use our thinking faculty as resolutely as an irishman his spade. To please our friends and relatives we turn out our silver ore in cartloads, while we neglect to workour mines of gold known only to ourselves far up in the Sierras, where we pulled up a bush in our mountain walk, and saw the glittering treasure. Let us return thither. Let it be the price of our freedom to make that known.

• I truly value the cinema experience, the tribal gathering in the dark to watch something larger than life. I like to sit in the first row with no heads in front of mine, and become one with the screen. I always stay for the complete credits so I can linger in the film's story just a little longer.

• I became much more interested in plot when I really didn't consider myself a writer anymore. When I was in an art context and I started to do installations, that was when writing of mine almost returned to fiction. Earlier I felt like I didn't have anything to write about, I could only concentrate on the page, I could only concentrate on words.

• It is true to say that for me sanctity consists in being myself and for you sanctity consists of being yourself and that, in the last analysis, your sanctity will never be mine and mine will never be yours, except in the communism of charity and grace. For me to be a saint means to be myself. Therefore the problem of sanctity and salvation is in fact the problem of finding out who I am and of discovering my true self.

  Thomas Merton

  Being Yourself, Mean, Who I Am

• [Photography] allows me to accede to an infra-knowledge; it supplies me with a collection of partial objects and can flatter a certain fetishism of mine: for this 'me' which like knowledge, which nourishes a kind of amorous preference for it. In the same way, I like certain biographical features which, in a writer's life, delight me as much as certain photographs; I have called these features 'biographemes'; Photography has the same relation to History that the biographeme has to biography.
