“But art should require no instrument but memory.”
“Life is an art we are required to practice without preparation, a score that we play at sight even before we have mastered our instruments.”
“Art should be linked to abstract things - color, line, tone. It is not an instrument to improve social conditions and chase ugliness. Painting is like music and it has to separate from everyday reality.”
“Books have long been instruments of the divinatory arts. ”
“Middle-aged memory [is] an instrument of torture: you reach for the fruit of memory and it vanishes, to appear when you no longer want it.”
“The true art of memory, is the art of attention”
