“I like going to museums and stuff, but I also like going out and doing lots of physical activity like camping and hiking. I like doing stuff that I've never done before. Curiosity is a big thing. Usually it means that people are intelligent and that they want to learn stuff about the world.” PeopleWorldWantMeanDoneBigsStuffActivityIntelligentCuriosityMuseumsHikingGoing OutBig ThingsCampingPhysical ActivityCamping Out Author:Nicholas D'Agosto
“I enter a whorehouse with the same interest as I do the British museum or the Metropolitan - in the same spirit of curiosity. Here are the works of man, here is an art of man, here is the eternal pursuit of gold and pleasure. I couldn't be more sincere. This doesn't mean that if I go to La Scala in Milan to hear Carmen I want to get up on the stage and participate. I do not. Neither do I always participate in a fine representative national whorehouse - but I must see it as a spectacle, an offering, a symptom of a nation.” IfsMenWantMeanArtWisdomSpiritNationsInterestPleasureStageFineEternalGoldCuriosityBritishPursuitGet UpAustraliaSincereMuseumsOfferingRepresentativesSymptomsMilanMetropolitanBritish Museum Author:Errol Flynn
“Museums just seem to have this borrowed cachet—if I want to seem cultural, I will design something cultural. I resist the idea that culture is only opera houses or theatres. Culture is your entire life around you: toilets, the bus, the kerb or the dump where you drag your waste. Culture has come to mean the arts, but it’s swimming pools as well.” IfsWantWellsMeanArtIdeasSeemsCultureHouseDesignWasteTheatreMuseumsBusSwimmingPoolOperaDragToiletsBorrowedDumpSwimming PoolOpera House Author:Thomas Heatherwick
