More From Jeff Koons

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
The whole idea of motivation is a trap. forget motivation. just do it. exercise, lose weight, test your blood sugar, or whatever. do it without motivation. and then, guess what? after you start doing the thing, that's when the motivation comes and makes it easy for you to keep on doing it.
Motivational Exercise Persistence
Philosophical argument, trying to get someone to believe something whether he wants to believe it or not, is not, i have held, a nice way to behave towards someone; also it does not fit the original motivation for studying or entering philosophy. that motivation is puzzlement, curiousity, a desire to understand, not a desire to produce uniformity of belief. most people do not want to become thought-police. the philosophical goal of explanation rather than proof not only is morally better, it is more in accord with one's philosophical motivation.

Artists look at the environment, and the best artists correctly diagnose the problem. i'm not saying artists can't be leaders, but that's not the job of art, to lead. bob marley, nina simone, harry belafonte - there are artists all through history who have become leaders, but that was already in them, nothing to do with their art.

For after all, what is there behind, except money? money for the right kind of education, money for influential friends, money for leisure and peace of mind, money for trips to italy. money writes books, money sells them. give me not righteousness, o lord, give me money, only money.
Book Writing Giving
It is neither art for art, nor art against art. i am for art, but for art that has nothing to do with art. art has everything to do with life, but it has nothing to do with art.

Wouldst thou know the lawfulness of the action which thou desirest to undertake, let thy devotion recommend it to divine blessing: if it be lawful, thou shalt perceive thy heart encouraged by thy prayer; if unlawful, thou shalt find thy prayer discouraged by thy heart. that action is not warrantable which either blushes to beg a blessing, or, having succeeded, dares not present a thanksgiving.

One must ease the public into it - that's an art in itself.

As much as i can, as much as i can afford, i keep ticket prices down. rock 'n' roll was developed as the people's voice, the people's art, it was grassroots. i don't believe that the people should be estranged from their rock stars. they're not kings and queens - all rock stars are those who are able to give back a bit of culture to other people. it's people's heritage.
