I don't think i'm wrong when i say that the most beautiful objects of the "stone age" were made of skin, fabric, and especially wood. the "stone age" ought to be called the "wood age." how many african statues are made of stone, bone, or ivory? maybe one in a thousand! and prehistoric man had no more ivory at his disposal than african tribes. maybe even less. he must have had thousands of wooden fetishes, all gone now.

More From Pablo Picasso

Social cohesion was built into language long before facebook and linkedin and twitter - we're tribal by nature. tribes today aren't the same as tribes thousand of years ago: it isn't just religious tribes or ethnic tribes now: it's sports fans, it's communities, it's geography.

I was born with the wrong sign in the wrong house with the wrong ascendancy i took the wrong road that led to the wrong tendencies i was in the wrong place at the wrong time for the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme on the wrong day of the wrong week used the wrong method with the wrong technique wrong wrong.

What is conserved in the ground? stone, bronze, ivory, bone, sometimes pottery. never wood objects, no fabric or skins. that completely skews our notions about primitive man.

If i had been a different sort of person, maybe less impressionable, less intense, less fearful, less utterly dependent upon the perceptions of others - maybe then i would not have bought the cultural party line that thinness is the be-all and end-all of goals. maybe if my family had not been in utter chaos most of the time, maybe if my parents were a little better at dealing with their own lives maybe if i'd gotten help sooner, or if i'd gotten different help, maybe if i didn't so fiercely cherish my secret, or if i were not such a good liar, or were not quite so empty inside... maybe.

I wish i could sit back and say, 'oh, i'm gonna wait for a merchant-ivory film to come my way. or ivory-merchant. whatever it's called. but you just take what's given and then, hopefully, down the road you can be more choosy and only do, say, wayans brothers movies. that's my goal: to be more merchant-ivory-wayans.

It’s wrong to hate. it always has been wrong and it always will be wrong! it’s wrong in america, it’s wrong in germany, it’s wrong in russia, it’s wrong in china! it was wrong in two thousand b.c., and it’s wrong in nineteen fifty-four a.d.! it always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong!

I'm surrounded by young and beautiful people. i hate looking at ugliness.

I hate the idea that you shouldn't wear something just because you're a certain age.

Our president seems determined to do anything he can with the russians and the russians hate - but a report and hates us. he is malevolent and he is as close to pure evil as i can find. he's also brilliant. i don't understand what any american would want an alliance with russia. we should be strengthening our alliance with democracies instead of trashing nato we should be building it up much more strongly.

Hate is just as injurious to the hater as it is to the hated. like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. many of our inner conflicts are rooted in hate. this is why the psychiatrists say, "love or perish." hate is too great a burden to bear.
