I like the aesthetics of the Church.

My use of the medium - photography - is in some ways traditional.

As a former Catholic, and as someone who even today is not opposed to being called a Christian, I felt I had every right to use the symbols of the Church and resented being told not to.

I am just an artist.

I have always felt that my work is religious, not sacrilegious.

I like the aesthetics of the Church.

Unfortunately, the Church's position on most contemporary issues makes it hard to take them seriously.

I think if the Vatican is smart, someday they'll collect my work.

I like going to Church for aesthetic reasons, rather than spiritual ones.

In my work, I explore my own Catholic obsessions.

Oftentimes we love the thing we hate and vice versa.

An artist is nothing without his or her obsessions, and I have mine.

Some people have compared the Klan images to ecclesiastical figures.

My work is intensely personal.

One of the things that I am happy about in my life as an artist is that I am not considered a Hispanic artist.

People have to find ways of explaining the work.

I have always felt that I am the sum total of my parts.

I usually refer to myself as Hispanic.

My work has social implications, it functions in a social arena.

I am drawn to Christ but I have real problems with the Catholic Church.

Being born, especially being born a person of color, is a political act in itself.

Whenever possible, I operate outside the system.

I have never voted in my life.

I don't think that because I am Hispanic I should therefore do Hispanic work.

I like to believe that rather than destroy icons, I make new ones.

I have never been able to see myself as fitting into one category, and I have never been able to limit my contact with people to one group of people.

I like Church furniture.

I am an artist first and a photographer second.

So begins a question which has of late become more and more urgent: what is the relation of aesthetics to politics?

At one of the annual conventions of the American Society for Aesthetics much confusion arose when the Society for Anesthetics met at the same time in the same hotel.

The film's dramatic requirements should always take precedence over the mere aesthetics of editing.

This required the development of a view which allowed one to integrate research with belief, thing with person, fact with aesthetics, knowledge with application of knowledge.

I like the aesthetics of the Church.

When applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it.

Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers... What we call art is a game.

Leonardo Da Vinci combined art and science and aesthetics and engineering, that kind of unity is needed once again.

Today each composer is not only involved in aesthetics, but he's actually trying to create his own language.

Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.

There's no particular evidence that any of the lower mammals or any of the other animals have any interest in aesthetics at all. But Homo sapiens does, always has and always will.

There's only so much you can do until you get on set and see the aesthetics of what you're dealing with. Then you see what the other players are giving to you. It's all about the transfer of energy between different actors.

The course hitherto pursued in musical aesthetics has nearly always been hampered by the false assumption that the object was not so much to inquire into what is beautiful in music as to describe the feelings which music awakens.

Well, I've always been interested in approaching a big city in a train, and I can't exactly describe the sensations, but they're entirely human and perhaps have nothing to do with aesthetics.

Let architects sing of aesthetics that bring Rich clients in hordes to their knees; Just give me a home, in a great circle dome Where stresses and strains are at ease.

Buildings designed with careful attention to aesthetics arouse and enlighten their occupants and that promotes their good health.

Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man - the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined.

Don't talk to me about aesthetics or tradition. Talk to me about what sells and what's good right now. And what the American people like is to think the underdog still has a chance.

I've handled colour as a man should behave. You may conclude that I consider ethics and aesthetics as one.

But aesthetics is not religion, and the origins of religion lie somewhere completely different. They lie anyway, these roses smell too sweet and the deep roar of the breaking waves is too splendid, to do justice to such weighty matters now.

If it came to saving the life of one priest or sacrificing the life of an entire congregation, the church would save the life of the priest. Which is backwards, of course.
