More From Blaise Pascal

And could i look upon her without compassion, seeing her punishment in the ruin she was, in her profound unfitness for this earth on which she was placed, in the vanity of sorrow which had become a master mania, like the vanity of penitence, the vanity of remorse, the vanity of unworthiness, and other monstrous vanities that have been curses in this world?

If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity. but i mean by vanity only that they appreciate their own worth. without this kind of vanity they would not be great. and with vanity alone, of course, a man is nothing.

Eden is a conversation. it is the conversation of the human with the divine. and it is the reverberations of that conversation that create a sense of place. it is not a thing, eden, but a pattern of relationships, made visible in conversation. to live in eden is to live in the midst of good relations, of just relations scrupulously attended to, imaginatively maintained through time. altogether we call this beauty.

Neither is there figurative and non-figurative art. all things appear to us in the shape of forms. even in metaphysics ideas are expressed by forms. well then, think how absurd it would be to think of painting without the imagery of forms. a figure, an object, a circle, are forms; they affect us more or less intensely.

I've always been a fan of or desired to or responded to variety. i like variety in life, so variety in work is a must.

One thing i'm a big fan of is the theater of the absurd. that's what i come from, that's what i love to do more than anything. what i love about absurdity is the words "comedy" and "drama" get thrown out the window and it's just life, which is absurd.
