The Automobile Is The Greatest Catastrophe In

How Does An Artist Know When The Line That He Just Painted Is Good Or Not Good? That's The Catch. De Kooning Was The Greatest Of My Contemporaries In Art, And He Knew When He'd Done A Good Line. When He Didn't, He Threw It Away. I Wish I'd Thrown Away Some Of Mine.

To Me, The Drive For Monumentality Is As Inbred As The Desire For Food And Sex, Regardless Of How We Denigrate It. Monuments Differ In Different Periods. Each Age Has Its Own.

I Got Everything From Someone. Nobody Can Be Original.

Concrete You Can Mold, You Can Press It Into - After All, You Haven't Any Straight Lines In Your Body. Why Should We Have Straight Lines In Our Architecture? You'd Be Surprised When You Go Into A Room That Has No Straight Line - How Marvelous It Is That You Can Feel The Walls Talking Back To You, As It Were.
