I realised the bohemian life was not for me. I would look around at my friends living like starving artists and wonder 'Where's the art?' They weren't doing anything. And there was so much interesting stuff to do so much fun to be had... maybe I could even quit renting.

All humanity is passion without passion religion history novels art would be ineffectual.

Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion history romance and art would be useless.

Perhaps it's good for one to suffer. Can an artist do anything if he's happy? Would he ever want to do anything? What is art after all but a protest against the horrible inclemency of life?

He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel hypocrite and flatterer for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.

Lying in bed would be an altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a colored pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling.

Without art the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did he would cease to be an artist.

I would've been intrigued by being a film director. I would've been intrigued by politics. I thought about architecture.

I would like to attend college in the future when I have time. I have always been interested in architecture so perhaps I would pursue a degree in that or business.

I was a student at Columbia College actually in the Architecture school. Paul would drive in from Queens showing me these new songs. I can't remember us working it out.

I would fix other people's lines if they asked me on occasion. The hard part of writing is the architecture of it getting the story and structuring it. Not the tweaking of lines.

I could be happy doing something like architecture. It would involve another couple of years of graduate school but that's what I studied in college. That's what I always wanted to do.

If architecture had nothing to do with art it would be astonishingly easy to build houses but the architect's task - his most difficult task - is always that of selecting.

Charles was very intent to use his years as Prince of Wales to make his mark while he still had freedom of maneuver that he wouldn't have as King. The first subject he really went for was architecture. It made an impact.

I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources to move into the future.

I would have liked maybe to be in architecture or painting something connected to the fine arts.
