Painting and sculpture are very archaic forms. Its the only thing left in our industrial society where an individual alone can make something with not just his own hands, but brains, imagination, heart maybe. – Philip Guston
I am a night painter, so when I come into the studio the next morning the delirium is over. – Philip Guston
When I dance, I dance; when I sleep, I sleep. Nay, and when I walk alone in a beautiful Orchard, if my Thoughts are some part of the Time taken up with strange Occurrences, I some part of the Time call them back again to my Walk, or to the Orchard, to the Sweetness of the Solitude, and to my self. – Michel de Montaigne, “Of Experience,” translated from French by Charles Cotton
