渴望之物的来临，总是在我们停止渴求它之后，也就是拥有它们而不至失去理智的时候。 你不再渴求它们的时候，就是你有能力处理如何拥有这些事物的时候。
我认为“光环”是一种旁人才能看见的东西，而且他们只看见他们想看见的程度。 “光环”必定是一种只能存活于开口之前的东西。
当你遇见，比方说，五年没见的人，而你们两人没什么特别地表示。 当你们看见对方时甚至连一秒都没闪神，那是最棒的时候。 你们不会说：“你最近忙些什么？”——你们不会试图叙旧。 非常平淡、爽快、随性。 那是最好的时候。
他们总是说时间会改变事情，但事实上你得自己去改变他们。
人可以哭也可以笑。每当你哭泣的时候，你可以大笑，你有这个选择。 疯疯癫癫的人最清楚怎么办到这一点，因为他们的心智不受束缚。 因此，你可以运用心智容许的灵活度，让他为你所掌握。 你决定你想做什么，以及你想怎么过日子。
我看起来真的很难看，而我懒得精心装扮或努力创造吸引力，因为我根本不希望有人会爱上我。 事实就是这样。我贬抑自己的长处，夸大自己的短处。 我从来不曾奔溃瓦解，因为我从不曾完好无缺。
你根本不该去做那些不属于你这类人会做的事。 你可以说不属于你这类人会说的话，但是你不能做你这类人不会做的事。
Never doing it is very exciting. The most exciting attractions are between two opposites that never meet. The best love is not-to-think-about-it love. People should fall in love with their eyes closed. Just close your eyes. Don’t look.
I really don’t care that much about “Beauties.” What I really like are Talkers. Talkers are doing something. Beauties are being something.
Beauty doesn’t have anything to do with sex. Beauty has to do with beauty and sex has to do with sex.
Sometimes people having nervous breakdown problems can look very beautiful because they have that fragile something to the way they move or walk.
When I look at things, I always see the space they occupy. I always want the space to reappear, to make a comeback, because it’s lost space when there’s something in it. My favorite piece of sculpture is a solid wall with a hole in it to frame the space on the other side. Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it.
My instinct about painting says, “If you don’t think about it, it’s right.” As soon as you have to decide and choose, it’s wrong. And the more you decide about, the more wrong it gets.
They don’t sell their food, they sell their atmosphere. Instead of “going out to dinner” they’ll just be “going out to atmosphere.” The best atmosphere I can think of is film, because it’s three-dimensional physically and two-dimensional emotionally.
If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more. Nothing in-between is as good as once or every day.
