"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."

"Poetry most often communicates emotions, not directly, but by creating imaginatively the grounds for those emotions. It therefore communicates something more than the emotion; only by means of that something more does it communicate the emotion at all."

"I think this lack of a center has something to do with the loss of certainties that Christianity had to offer."

"For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism of visual forces."

Nature

Values

Bridget Riley
"An artist's early work is inevitably made up of a mixture of tendencies and interests, some of which are compatible and some of which are in conflict."

"As a painter today you have to work without that essential platform. But if one does not deceive oneself and accepts this lack of certainty, other things may come into play."

"Painters have always needed a sort of veil upon which they can focus their attention. It's as though the more fully the consciousness is absorbed, the greater the freedom of the spirit behind."

Attention

Bridget Riley
"His failures are as valuable as his successes: by misjudging one thing he conforms something else, even if at the time he does not know what that something else is."

Time

Bridget Riley
"In my earlier paintings, I wanted the space between the picture plane and the spectator to be active."
