The 'how' has a great effect on what we see. to say that 'what we see' is more important than 'how we see it' is to think that 'how' has been settled and fixed. when you realize this is not the case, you realize that 'how' often affects 'what' we see.

More From David Hockney

When we understand that we are a human race, what affects you affects me, what affects her affects you and so on and so on, then we'll look at this thing [hiv/aids] for what it really is. it's a disease that's out to kill all of us. what will make it continue is our prejudices, our ideas about it, and the fact that we don't look at ourselves as one giant community.

It is the fixed that horrifies us, the fixed that assails us with the tremendous force of mindlessness. the fixed is a mason jar,and we can't beat it open. ...the fixed is a world without fire--dead flint, dead tinder, and nowhere a spark. it is motion without direction, force without power, the aimless procession of caterpillars round the rim of a vase, and i hate it because at any moment i myself might step to that charmed and glistening thread.
Hate Fire Vases
We do not seek the unanimity that comes to those who water down all issues to the lowest common denominator - or to those who conceal their differences behind fixed smiles - or to those who measure unity by standards of popularity and affection, instead of trust and respect. we are allies. this is a partnership, not an empire. we are bound to have differences and disappointments - and we are equally bound to bring them out into the open, to settle them where they can be settled, and to respect each other's views when they cannot be settled.

Love Is Thinking Negative
The most important thing in this world is liberty. more important than food or clothes - more important than gold or houses or lands - more important than art or science - more important than all religions, is the liberty of man.

The poetical tendency of the present and of the preceding century has been divided in a manner singularly curious. one loud and conspicuous faction of bards, giving way to the corrupt influences of a decaying general culture, seems to have abandoned all the properties of versification and reason in its mad scramble after sensational novelty; whilst the other and quieter school constituting a more logical evolution from the poesy of the georgian period, demands an accuracy of rhyme and metre unknown even to the polished artists of the age of pope.
School Artist Mad
To go and see one druidical temple is only to see that it is nothing, for there is neither art nor power in it; and seeing one is quite enough.
