"Good art should elicit a response of 'Huh? Wow!' as opposed to 'Wow! ...Huh?'"

- Edward Ruscha

The only true voyage, the only bath in the Fountain of Youth, would not be to visit strange lands, but to possess other eyes, to see the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to see the hundred universes that each of them sees..."

- Marcel Proust

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.

- Jane Jacobs

There is hope in honest error, none in the icy perfection of the mere stylist.

- J.R. Seddings
