Money talks. It makes art. It determines what food we eat, whether we are cured or die, and what shoes we wear.

Money talks. It starts rumors about careers and complicity and speaks of the tragedies and triumphs of our social lives.

I don’t necessarily think that installation is the only way to go. It’s just a label for certain kinds of arrangements.

It’s good to keep in mind that prominence is always a mix of hard work, eloquence in your practice, good timing and fortuitous social relations. Everything can’t be personalized.

The different aspects of my activity, whether it’s writing criticism, or doing visual work that incorporates writing, or teaching, or curating, is all of a single cloth, and I don’t make any separation in terms of those practices.

Revelation is the first step to holiness, and consecration is the second. A day must come in our lives, as definite as the day of our conversion, when we give up all right to ourselves and submit to the absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ.

If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.
