“Another thing that escapes me is HOW to give substance to the forms. One day they look solid and 'real' and they seem to hinge upon each other and splinter and creak, fall with a thud to the bottom of the canvas and drag across the surface, and the next day they are like dust, all lightweight and just stuck there.” GivingLooksRealSeemsFormFallNextOne DayBottomSurfaceStuckDustSubstanceDragCanvasNext DayDissatisfactionHingesSplinters Book:Paula Rego Source: Paula Rego
“I have consecrated my life to changing matter into spirit with the hope of one day seeing it all. Seeing in its total form, while wearing the mask, from the distance of death. And there, in the eternal destiny, to seek the face I had before the world was made.” WorldMadeMatterFacesFormSpiritDestinySeeingOne DayEternalDistanceMask Author:Joel-Peter Witkin

“Teaching is my most reliable form of human contact. I love the opportunity to speak Spanish (which I don't do at home), the give-and-take with students, the surprises.

“I can one day do dance, and the next maybe do a movie, and then maybe I can choreograph, or work with different photographers for fashion shoots, or different art forms. You're never stuck. You're going at a different level. You're sucking in things, rather than closing. You're trying things out.” TryingArtI CanDifferentFormNextLevelsFashionOne DayPhotographerStuckClosingDifferent Levels Author:Sergei Polunin
“That old Bobby Kennedy 1968 form of liberalism where you could be holding hands with the Appalachian family on one day and then be in Harlem the next day and nobody thinks it's weird, that is something that isn't as strong. It was strong in 2008. It hasn't been as strong since then. That's just a reality that we have to deal with that it's not just that the Republicans ran a terrible candidate who had bad ideas, it's also that the circle of love and affirmation that we have as progressives can sometimes just not be big enough.” ThinkingIdeasSometimesEnoughHandsBigsRealityFormNextStrongDealsTerribleRepublicanOne DayCirclesRanCandidatesLiberalismAffirmationNext DayBad IdeasHolding HandsHarlemBobby Kennedy Author:Van Jones
