Favourite quotes

metaphor is never, in fact, an innocent figure of speech There’s something about a... an unfinished piece of work, a... a thing like this where... do you see? Where perfection is still possible? Because it’s there, it’s there all the time, all the time you work trying to uncover it. It might be that we are all tattooed savages since Sophocles. But there is more to Art than the straightness of lines and the perfection of surfaces. Plasticity of style is not as large as the entire idea... we have too many things and not enough forms.
