I always felt I needed to teach to survive.

I think there is an element of nihilism about, but I don't think most artists feel their work is meaningless.

Of course, I did lots of what would be called graphic design now, what used to be called commercial art.

The art schools... you get young kids doing the most vile and meaningless crap. I think they believe every bit of it.

Art is man's distinctly human way of fighting death.

I think it has other roots, has to do, in part, with a general anxiety in contemporary life... nuclear bombs, inequality of possibility and chance, inequality of goods allotted to us, a kind of general racist, unjust attitude that is pervasive.

There is, however, a change going on in the world. There's far more interest in drawing now than there has been in a long, long time. Schools are beginning to teach drawing again in a serious and meaningful way.

I think the leaders inevitably express the people they are leading.

It took me fifty years to deal with the Holocaust at all. And I did it in a literary way.

Works of art produced in the contemporary world are a further expression of that. But I don't think there is an active, ongoing nihilist self-consciousness in the artist.

I think if you touch ordinary people, they're simply ordinary people, the way they've always been. They work hard, they don't have really as much as they should.

But I think doctors have always been either honest or dishonest.

I always felt I needed to teach to survive.

I always felt that I had anxiety of survival in terms of livelihood even when I was making plenty of money.

Pop art is the inedible raised to the unspeakable.

Architecture should be dedicated to keeping the outside out and the inside in.

Most of my instruments are handmade.

If you hold back your feelings because you are afraid of getting hurt you end up hurting anyway.

Theology is a science of mind applied to God.

I like to think that I could praise the good book of someone I personally dislike. I try not to comment on the person, to be insulting, but I have no trouble being insulting to the work.

I feel like, in general in my work life, my main goal has been to just be in a situation where I'm not bored with my job. That's been the entire principle. Got my wish.

Apparently the show happens even if I'm not there. Who knew?

People always ask me, 'What is it that you regret?' And I say, 'nothing, because I could not buy what I've learned.' And I apply those things to my life I learn. And hopefully, hopefully it helps me to be a better human in the future and make better choices.

Through these adversities, Israel has endured with continued strength, conviction, and faith.

Happy Easter everyone Jesus dies comes back from the dead and we get chocolate eggs. Its like turn down service from God.

Any child knows that history can only be a reduced representation of reality, but it must be a true one, not distorted by queer lenses.

I will never tire of recommending the custom, practiced by the best architects, of preparing not only drawings and sketches, but also models of wood or any other material. These... enable us to examine... the work as a whole... and, before continuing any further, to estimate the likely trouble and expense.

My ideal man is faithful, honest, and a gentleman who knows how to treat women.

A positive attitude awakens inner strength, energy, motivation and initiative.

People expect me to cry, but I always laugh when things go wrong.

I am an arm hitter. When you snap the bat with your wrists just as you meet the ball, you give the bat tremendous speed for a few inches of its course. The speed with which the bat meets the ball is the thing that counts.

Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care. And that's the story that we're not seeing, and it's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out of children wedlock.

With prurient absorption and only minimal risk, we can pretend to be the subject of the lead article on the front page of the Style section of our local newspaper for as long as it takes to finish our morning coffee.

They told me I had been sick twelve days, lying like dead all the while, and that Whirlwind Chaser, who was Standing Bear's uncle and a medicine man, had brought me back to life.

Human life is everywhere a state in which much is to be endured, and little to be enjoyed.

At school, up to the age of sixteen, I found history boring, for we were studying the Industrial Revolution, which was all about Acts, Trade Unions and the factory system, and I wanted to know about people, because it is people who make history.

County government can be simplified greatly by reorganizing and consolidating some of the offices, making others appointive, and reducing salaries in keeping with the salaries paid by private business for the performance of similar duties.

The only excuse for war is that we may live in peace unharmed.

Girls know when they're attractive.

There was never a great man who had not a great mother.
