Patti Smith
“I preferred an artist who transformed his time, not mirrored it." - reference to Andy Warhol”
Patti Smith, Just Kids

Kamel Daoud
“As far as I'm concerned, religion is public transportation I never use.”
Kamel Daoud

“Twilight was reaching its climax, no doubt: the last fires of the sun, like a violent dermatitis, ruched and ravined the horizon, giving it blisters, edema, and creases — the yellows, oranges, turquoise, ocher, reddish purples, crimsons, and browns became more vivid as the star descended, becoming bruises, scales, scabs, clots, and even bleeding eviscerations, as though the sky were reproducing the painful sequence of it's birth, what psychoanalysts call repetition compulsion.”
Eric Laurrent from "Do Not Touch"

Lucian Freud
“When I'm painting people in clothes I'm always thinking very much of naked people, or animals dressed.”
Lucian Freud

Donna Tartt
“For humans-trapped in biology-there was no mercy: we lived a while, we fussed around for a bit and died, we rotted in the ground like garbage. Time destroyed us all soon enough. But to destroy, or lose, a deathless thing-to break bonds stronger than the temporal-was a metaphysical uncoupling all its own, a startling new flavor of despair.”
Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch
