I do not share the half-in half-out attitude to the EU of some in Britain. Britain's place is in Europe.

The place of chess in the society is closely related to the attitude of young people towards our game.

When you retire it's a place in life a part of the journey. You just don't quit work you develop an attitude where you can do what you please.

An attitude to life which seeks fulfillment in the single-minded pursuit of wealth - in short materialism - does not fit into this world because it contains within itself no limiting principle while the environment in which it is placed is strictly limited.

I think good art does come from a dark place.

Seek art from every time and place in any form to connect with those who really move you.

What you have now is a Hollywood that is pure poison. Hollywood was a central place in the history of art in the 20th century: it was human idealism preserved. And then like any great place it collapsed and it collapsed into the most awful machinery in the world.

Art saved me it got me through my depression and self-loathing back to a place of innocence.

What the mass media offers is not popular art but entertainment which is intended to be consumed like food forgotten and replaced by a new dish.

When museums are built these days architects directors and trustees seem most concerned about social space: places to have parties eat dinner wine-and-dine donors. Sure these are important these days - museums have to bring in money - but they gobble up space and push the art itself far away from the entrance.

It's great that New York has large spaces for art. But the enormous immaculate box has become a dated even oppressive place. Many of these spaces were designed for sprawling installations large paintings and the Relational Aesthetics work of the past fifteen years.

Venice is the perfect place for a phase of art to die. No other city on earth embraces entropy quite like this magical floating mall.

All art comes from other art and all immigrants come from other places.

Art is not necessary at all. All that is necessary to make this world a better place to live in is to love - to love as Christ loved as Buddha loved.

To me photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.

One does not need buildings money power or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing and that is the place to train.

Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature placed alongside thereof for its conquest.

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky from the earth from a scrap of paper from a passing shape from a spider's web.

There was an age however when the transition from savagery to civilization with all its impressive outward manifestations in art and architecture took place for the first time.

That Moorish architecture is all over the place of course. It affects me everywhere I see it as it does so many people. But Brand Library was a special place to me and I know I've paid homage to it many times in my drawings.

One of my favorite vacation places is Miami because of the people the water and the beach - of course - and the architecture on Miami Beach is so wonderful.

But I absolutely believe that architecture is a social activity that has to do with some sort of communication or places of interaction and that to change the environment is to change behaviour.

Look architecture has a lot of places to hide behind a lot of excuses. 'The client made me do this.' 'The city made me do this.' 'Oh the budget.' I don't believe that anymore.

Does an architecture to assuage the spirit have a place?
