Whatever I take, I take too much or too little; I do not take the exact amount. The exact amount is no use to me. ↗

Human life itself may be almost pure chaos, but the work of the artist is to take these handfuls of confusion and disparate things, things that seem to be irreconcilable, and put them together in a frame to give them some kind of shape and meaning. ↗
