To dwell is to garden.

The question of existence never gets straightened out except through existing itself.

Technology is therefore no mere means. Technology is a way of revealing.

The possible ranks higher than the actual.

Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.

There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.

I want to touch people with my art. I want them to say ‘he feels deeply, he feels tenderly’.

We have nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore- except to make our lives into a work of art.

We have art in order not to die of the truth.
