Art Childhood Stuff

More From Damien Hirst

When i look back on my childhood i wonder how i survived at all. it was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable irish catholic childhood.
Childhood Catholic Ordinary
The only thing i collect is art. i collect it because i like looking at it. a lot of it is really personal stuff that my friends have made, paintings that my husband's mother made, and things that i bought. i buy abstract art on ebay, and i buy some outsider art on ebay, or what is called folk art, i buy a lot of. i have a lot of professional art work as well as more stuff my friends' kids make. to have a wall of art to look at, i feel really surrounded by love, because so much of the work is related to my friendships.

Attitude Real Thinking
It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.

The earliest language was body language and, since this language is the language of questions, if we limit the questions, and if we only pay attention to or place values on spoken or written language, then we are ruling out a large area of human language.

As a teacher you are more or less obliged to pay the same amount of attention to everything. that can wear you down.
Teacher Pay Attention
Whatever we read from intense curiosity gives us the model of how we should always read. plodding along page after page with an equal attention to each word results in attention to mere words.
Giving Curiosity Attention
Do not be influenced by the importance of the writer, and whether his learning be great or small, but let the love of pure truth draw you to read. do not inquire, who said this? but pay attention to what is said.
