The refusal to rest content, the willingness to risk excess on behalf of one's obsessions, is what distinguishes artists from entertainers, and what makes some artists adventurers on behalf of us all.

Books have the same enemies as people: fire, humidity, animals, weather, and their own content.

I'd never painted anything before. I was quite content to take other people's work since I didn't care anyway about the subject matter. I approached subject matter as a scoundrel. I had nothing to say about it whatsoever. I only wanted to make these exciting paintings.

The problem is we need much more moral content.

We may pass violets looking for roses. We may pass contentment looking for victory.

People are looking for original content in many different places, as are advertisers. This takes us into a whole new ballgame.
