"For a poet he threw a very accurate milk bottle."

Donna Grant

"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."

Donna Grant

"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."

Anish Kapoor
"One does afford oneself the luxury to come into the studio and all day, every day, spend one's life making aesthetic propositions. What an immense luxury."
Quote_1.png
Anish Kapoor
"One does not set out with the idea that I've just had a great idea and now I'm going to go and carry it out. Almost all art that's made like that doesn't go anywhere."

Anish Kapoor

Quote_1.png
Anish Kapoor
"That freedom that Picasso afforded himself, to be an artist in a huge number of ways, seems to be a huge psychological liberation."
Quote_1.png
Anish Kapoor
"The work itself has a complete circle of meaning and counterpoint. And without your involvement as a viewer, there is no story."
Quote_1.png
Anish Kapoor
"One doesn't make art for other people, even though I am very concerned with the viewer."
