"Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information."

Man Ray

"No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell."

Antonin Artaud

"Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it "creative observation." Creative viewing."  

William S. Burroughs
