"I wanted things that I couldn't at times articulate."

--

Helen Frankenthaler

“When I was praying there was a Presence - I saw nothing and yet Our Lord Crucified seemed present for a few instants.”
“Silence and solitude are confrontational. They plunge us instantly into the truth.”
“All talk of method and style seemed suddenly trivial; I became interested in meaning. I wanted to say something musically about life and living.”
“Ever since I was little I would always be singing and dancing. I learned dance moves from Michael Jackson and *Nsync. My brothers, Rydel, and I would always put on shows for family members in our basement and we charged everyone $1 to get in.”
“Look at your bodyâ€” A painted puppet, a poor toy Of jointed parts ready to collapse, A diseased and suffering thing With a head full of false imaginings. â€”The Dhammapada”
“[The press] said to me yesterday 'How does it feel to be called anorexic?' and I had no idea that I was. I'm not saying there aren't people in the film industry that suffer from it, because I am sure that there are. But I'm quite sure I don't have it.”
“A very popular error: having the courage of one's convictions; rather it is a matter of having the courage for an attack on one's convictions.”
“The purpose of a system is what it does. There is after all, no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do.”
