“Левинас написал в «Трудной свободе», что душа — это не возможность бессмертия (моего), а невозможность убийства (Другого). Многие считают искусство проявлением вероятности нашего бессмертия, упорным стремлением продолжить себя, анти-судьбой. Может ли оно быть одним из путей, ведущих к невозможности убийства? Может ли оно внушить душе невозможность отнятия жизни у другого человека? Тогда смотреть на экран, на картину, на сцену, на скульптуру, на страницу, слушать песню, музыку означало бы: не убивать.”

“It’s disappointing that we opposed Adolf Hitler, and even more disappointing that now still we only see him for his so-called hatred. Why do we overlook his courage, his bravery to stand up for his cause, his vegan diet, his charisma and artistic abilities? Adolf was a man with beliefs we weren’t ready for.”

“Art is husbandry, I thought. It is an experiment in imaginary kinship. Bring together this mare and this stallion; this marriage and this moon; this sun and this daughter. Poems, paintings, pop songs, choreographies-all are collisions of associations, associations deliberately and also unforeseeably formed. One attempts to manage the consequences. To mitigate the damage. I know that ''moon'' evokes roundness, whiteness, coolness, night. I might not know the way it reminds you of orchids, or miscarriage, or of Victoria, British Columbia. But no, perhaps I could predict orchids. Perhaps ''orchids'' and ''moon'' seem to vibrate on the same frequency to me too, something ineffable and strong. So perhaps I put them in a poem together. Perhaps I put ''roundness'' and ''whiteness'' and ''orchids'' in a poem together, omitting ''moon." Perhaps I let these gravities work on one another, an invisible web catching meanings in it. All of this, any of this: perhaps. I may choose any word to place beside the preceding word; a painter may choose any stroke. I test the water for salinity. I listen for what goes bump with the night.”

“Be no longer willing to be placed in someone’s personal trophy collection only to be dusted off and placed back at their discretion! You are a work of art, made for a museum full of the most valuable pieces! Be who you are, Be one of a kind, Be an ICON, BE AN ICONIC WORK OF ART!”
