Art does not come from thinking, but from responding. / Everyone carries a history of
contamination; purity is not an option. / Beyond all questions of old or new, the human
hand is the ever-present tool of human feeling. / We must come down to earth from the
clouds where we live in vagueness and experience the most real thing there is: material. /
To bear and not to own; to act and not lay claim; to do the work and let it go. / Repetition
is a form of change. / Inspired action is destiny.
