artLife is the art of drawing without an eraser. John W. Gardner A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece. In my world, history comes down to language and art. No one cares much about what battles were fought, who won them and who lost them – unless there is a painting, a play, a song or a poem that speaks of the event. Wushu is a move in Chinese, a physical move. An attack. Wushu is like an art. The idea of avant-garde art is a very suspicious thing to me, the idea that poetry is new and it keeps being new the way Chevrolets every year are new. Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line. When thou art at Rome, do as they do at Rome. The art of communication is the language of leadership. I love to collect modern art. Alchemy is the art of far and near, and I think poetry is alchemy in that way. It’s delightful to distort size, to see something that’s tiny as though it were vast.
