More From Marcel Duchamp

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.
Art
The one object of fifty years of abstract art is to present art-as-art and as nothing else, to make it into the one thing it is only, separating and defining it more and more, making it purer and emptier, more absolute and more exclusive - non-objective, non-representational, non-figurative, non-imagist, non-expressionist, non-subjective. the only and one way to say what abstract art or art-as-art is, is to say what it is not.
Art Years Fifty
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.
Mother Art Wall
The art of reasoning becomes of first importance. in this line antiquity has left us the finest models for imitation; i should consider the speeches of livy, sallust, and tacitus, as pre-eminent specimens of logic, taste, and that sententious brevity which, using not a word to spare, leaves not a moment for inattention to the hearer. amplification is the vice of modern oratory.
Art Taste Firsts
It is a happy art to know when one has said enough. i would leave my hearers wishing me to say more rather than give them cause toshow, by their inattention, that i had said too much.
Art Giving Wish
Training a child is exactly like training a puppy; a little heedless inattention and it is out of hand immediately; the great thing is not to let it acquire bad habits that must afterward be broken.

We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are. we adults, on the other hand, have outgrown them and have to lower ourselves to stoop down to them. it seems to me that the grass hates us when we confess our love for it. whoever would partake of all good things must understand how to be small at times.
Children Hate Flower
Most women are damn fools and children. but they've got more range than we've got. the brave ones are braver, the good ones are better - and the vile ones are viler, for that matter.
Children Brave Matter
In short, my vision of a responsible free society is one in which we discourage evil, but do not prohibit it. we make our children and students aware of the consequences of drug abuse and other forms of irresponsible behavior. but after all our persuading, if they still want to use harmful drugs, that is their privilege. in a free society, individuals must have the right to do right or wrong, as long as they don't threaten or infringe upon the rights or property of others. they must also suffer the consequences of their actions, as it is from consequences that they learn to choose properly
