What was past was past. I suppose that was the general attitude.

It is very important to generate a good attitude a good heart as much as possible. From this happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind.

My general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of 'Oh God I've got to do this today.'

Our individual lives cannot generally be works of art unless the social order is also.

The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.

It's art that pushes against psychological and social expectations that tries to transform decay into something generative that is replicative in a baroque way that isn't about progress and wants to - as Walt Whitman put it - 'contain multitudes.'

Willem de Kooning is generally credited for coming out of the painterly gates strong in the forties revolutionizing art and abstraction and reaching incredible heights by the early fifties and then tailing off.

In general it can be said that a nation's art is greatest when it most reflects the character of its people.

I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art but just as a person.

The art which we may call generally art of the wayside as opposed to that which is the business of men's lives is in the best sense of the word Grotesque.

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.

In general the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from one class of citizens to give to another.

Information and inspiration are everywhere... history art architecture everything an illustrator needs. Europe is after all the land that has generated most of the enduring myths and legends of Western culture.

Architecture in general is frozen music.

The architecture profession has lost a lot of its integrity especially in the USA. The general architect here has no scruples no ambitions.

In architecture the idea degenerated. Design allows a more direct and pleasurable route.

Married people from my generation are like an endangered species!

And we know there has been horrendous loss of life and suffering and we know that there is anger. Anyone who came anywhere near the general election in constituencies with a substantial Muslim population knows that.

Being told about the effects of climate change is an appeal to our reason and to our desire to bring about change. But to see that Africans are the hardest hit by climate change even though they generate almost no greenhouse gas is a glaring injustice which also triggers anger and outrage over those who seek to ignore it.

I'm generally quite an angry person and I like to channel my anger toward something creative.

Generalised anger and frustration is something that gets you in the studio and gets you to work - though it's not necessarily evident in anything that's finished.

All improv turns into anger. All comedy improv basically turns into anger because that's all people know how to do when they're improvising. If you notice shows that are improvising are generally people yelling at each other.

In general I was a good kid. It usually took a lot to make me mad. But once I reached the boiling point I lost all rational control. Totally without thinking when my anger was aroused I grabbed the nearest brick rock or stick to bash someone. It was as if I had no conscious will in the matter.
