• Accept no substitutes. Art is not a cheap copy of life.
• Wallpaper soothes--Art must annoy.
• Art should leave one feeling cleansed and drained--like a good enema.
• If something is profitable it's not Art--it's commerce. It's the difference between a great tragedy and a traveling circus.

• Art is not religion.
• Art is repetition.
• Art is a craving--an opiate.
• Art is not a prophet.
• Art is revolutionary.
• Art is variation.
• Art must not anesthetize; it must not calm or palliate.
• An Art parable:

• Art begs handouts from its family and mooches off its friends.
• Art is stylish without being fashionable--amusing without being fun.
• Art is variation.
• Art is a monk who broke his vow of silence.
• Art may sell its blood on occasion, but not its soul.
• Art is.
