The 'how' has a great effect on what we see. to say that 'what we see' is more important than 'how we see it' is to think that 'how' has been settled and fixed. when you realize this is not the case, you realize that 'how' often affects 'what' we see.

More From David Hockney

When we understand that we are a human race, what affects you affects me, what affects her affects you and so on and so on, then we'll look at this thing [hiv/aids] for what it really is. it's a disease that's out to kill all of us. what will make it continue is our prejudices, our ideas about it, and the fact that we don't look at ourselves as one giant community.

It is the fixed that horrifies us, the fixed that assails us with the tremendous force of mindlessness. the fixed is a mason jar,and we can't beat it open. ...the fixed is a world without fire--dead flint, dead tinder, and nowhere a spark. it is motion without direction, force without power, the aimless procession of caterpillars round the rim of a vase, and i hate it because at any moment i myself might step to that charmed and glistening thread.
Hate Fire Vases
We do not seek the unanimity that comes to those who water down all issues to the lowest common denominator - or to those who conceal their differences behind fixed smiles - or to those who measure unity by standards of popularity and affection, instead of trust and respect. we are allies. this is a partnership, not an empire. we are bound to have differences and disappointments - and we are equally bound to bring them out into the open, to settle them where they can be settled, and to respect each other's views when they cannot be settled.

The most important thing in this world is liberty. more important than food or clothes - more important than gold or houses or lands - more important than art or science - more important than all religions, is the liberty of man.

I looked him in the eye, "i will always love you." then plunged the stake into his chest. it wasn't as precise a blow as i would have liked, not with the skilled way he was dodging. i struggled to get the stake in deep enough to his heart, unsure if i could do it from this angle. then, his struggles stopped. his eyes stared at me, stunned, and his lips parted, almost into a smile, albeit a grisly and pained one. "that's what i was supposed to say..." he gasped out.
