More From V. S. Naipaul

Art is craft: all art is always and essentially a work of craft: but in the true work of art, before the craft and after it, is some essential durable core of being, which is what the craft works on, and shows, and sets free. the statue in the stone. how does the artist find that, see it, before it's visible? that is a real question.

We learned out craft. acting is a craft and you must learn it. i see a lot of talent today in the kids but they don't know how to work. they don't know the craft of acting and you can only get that on the stage in theater. you cannot learn how to act in movies or in television.

The place has had a super-conflicted relationship to its mission. in 1956, it opened as the museum of contemporary crafts. then in 1986 it had a midlife crisis and changed its name to the american craft museum. then in 2002 the name changed again, this time to the museum of arts and design. maybe in 2025 the place will be called the designatorium. the big problem with a museum of craft and design is that all art has craft and design.

But tell me: how did gold get to be the highest value? because it is uncommon and useless and gleaming and gentle in its brilliance; it always gives itself. only as an image of the highest virtue did gold get to be the highest value. the giver's glance gleams like gold. a golden brilliance concludes peace between the moon and the sun. uncommon is the highest virtue and useless, it is gleaming and gentle in its brilliance: a gift-giving virtue is the highest virtue.

As every writer knows... there is something mysterious about the writer's ability, on any given day, to write. when the juices are flowing, or the writer is 'hot', an invisible wall seems to fall away, and the writer moves easily and surely from one kind of reality to another... every writer has experienced at least moments of this strange, magical state. reading student fiction one can spot at once where the power turns on and where it turns off, where the writer writes from 'inspiration' or deep, flowing vision, and where he had to struggle along on mere intellect.

We have to remember, when we forgive we're not doing it just for the other person, we're doing it for our own good. when we hold on to unforgiveness and we live with grudges in our hearts, all we're doing is building walls of separation.

I'm not really afraid of the dark, except if i'm walking. the thing that scares me the most is the possibility of walking into a wall and busting my lip.

Brave old-flowers! wall-flowers, gilly flowers, stocks! for even as the field-flowers, from which a trifle, a ray of beauty, a drop of perfume, divides them, they have charming names, the softest in the language; and each of them, like tiny, art-less ex-votos, or like medals bestowed by the gratitude of men, proudly bears three or four.
