The 'pure' red of which certain abstractionists speak does not exist. any red is rooted in blood, glass, wine, hunters' caps and a thousand other concrete phenomena. otherwise we would have no feeling toward red and its relations.

Wine Glasses Blood

More From Robert Motherwell

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. there are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. and then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. the world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: what's up with this glass? excuse me? excuse me? this is my glass? i don't think so. my glass was full! and it was a bigger glass! who's been pinching my beer?

I would like a wine. the purpose of the wine is to get me drunk. a bad wine will get me as drunk as a good wine. i would like the good wine. and since the result is the same no matter which wine i drink, i'd like to pay the bad wine price.

Go on, have a glass of wine with dinner. what is wine, anyway? pure grapes. a glass of wine is much better for you than a coke.

Day-colored wine, night-colored wine, wine with purple feet or wine with topaz blood, wine, starry child of earth.

But then the wine came, one glass and then a second glass. and somewhere during that second drink, the switch was flipped. the wine gave me a melting feeling, a warm light sensation in my head, and i felt like safety itself had arrived in that glass, poured out from the bottle and allowed to spill out between us.

There is nothing to be known about anything except an initially large, and forever expandable, web of relations to other things. everything that can serve as a term of relation can be dissolved into another set of relations, and so on for ever. there are, so to speak, relations all the way down, all the way up, and all the way out in every direction: you never reach something which is not just one more nexus of relations.

I will love you all my life and when i die i will still love you through eternity and beyond.

The best portraits are perhaps those in which there is a slight mixture of caricature; and we are not certain that the best histories are not those in which a little of the exaggeration of fictitious narrative is judiciously employed. something is lost in accuracy; but much is gained in effect. the fainter lines are neglected; but the great characteristic features are imprinted on the mind forever.

I'm a person of my own opinions, that's how i was raised. i speak what i feel... a lot of people feel the same way but they're scared to talk. they're really scared of the truth - they only want half of the truth. i've been living like that - forever in fear - but i know what to say and how to say it now. i ain't scared of myself. y'all may be scared; i'm not scared.

As you're growing up, it's odd, because directors don't expect you to grow up. they think you'll be young forever, but as an actor, there is an awkward period when you're too young for old or too old for young, and it can be an odd time.
