“In 1978 I decided not to work with Man Ray as an act of self-discipline. I didn't want to rely on him. Man Ray hated not working, though. He would come into my studio, see me drawing or working on photographs, and just slump down at my feet with a big sigh. Fortunately for both of us the year ended. Polaroid had invented a new camera, the twenty-by-twenty-four, and I was invited to Cambridge, Mass., to experiment with it. Naturally, I took Man Ray and we were working again.” MenWantYearsSelfBigsFourFeetDisciplineMassDecidedTwentiesCamerasPhotographStudiosDrawingExperimentsHatedRelyRaysSelf DisciplineSighInvitedCambridgeSlumpsPolaroids Author:William Wegman
“For some odd reason, I had an early and extreme multidisciplinary cast of mind. I couldn't stand reaching for a small idea in my own discipline when there was a big idea right over the fence in somebody else's discipline. So I just grabbed in all directions for the big ideas that would really work.” MindIdeasReasonBigsMy OwnDisciplineCastsExtremesOddReachingFenceBig IdeasSmall IdeasMultidisciplinary Author:Charlie Munger

“To finish first you have to first finish. Don't get in a position where you go back to go. What's interesting is that some guy whose grandfather was a lawyer and a judge-hurriedly going to Harvard Law with a wave of veterans-I was willing to go into so many different businesses. I was constantly going right into the other fellow's business and doing better than the other fellow did. The reason it was possible?

“I set a discipline for myself to return every afternoon and take photographs like Edward Weston: f22, full sun, big set squares, big circles.

“A university is not, primarily, a place in which to learn how to make a living; it is a place in which to learn how to be more fully a human being, how to draw upon one's resources, how to discipline the mind and expand the imagination; how to make some sense out of the big world we will shortly be thrown into.” WorldLifeMindHumansBigsImaginationHuman BeingsLearningDisciplineDrawsResourcesUniversityThrown Book:On the contrary Source: On the contrary
“It seems like the big difference between good art and so-so art lies somewhere in the art's heart's purpose, the agenda of the consciousness behind the text.
