"In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant. I think I thought it meant that I would be in a situation different than the one that I was in."

"I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across-not to just depict life-or criticize it-but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful. Because if it is all beautiful you can't believe in it. Things aren't that way."

"For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word or a verse and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem. The men of more delicate ear write down these cadences more faithfully, and these transcripts, though imperfect, become the songs of the nations."

Life

Jasper Johns
"Most of the power of painting comes through the manipulation of space... but I don't understand that."

Power

Quote_1.png
Jasper Johns
"The thing is, if you believe in the unconscious - and I do - there's room for all kinds of possibilities that I don't know how you prove one way or another."

Unconscious

Quote_1.png
Jasper Johns
"Everyone is of course free to interpret the work in his own way. I think seeing a picture is one thing and interpreting it is another."

Work

Quote_1.png
Jasper Johns
"I have no ideas about what the paintings imply about the world. I don't think that's a painter's business. He just paints paintings without a conscious reason."

Business

Jasper Johns
"One likes to think that one anticipates changes in the spaces we inhabit, and our ideas about space."
