“The only victories which leave no regret are those which are gained over ignorance.”

“In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish, love must be proved by deeds and not by reasons. What one does is what counts and not what one had the intention of doing.” -Pablo Picasso
There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know. -Donald Rumsfeld
Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust. -John Webster
What is the difference between painting and a painted object? Are they the same or different?

And perhaps some painterliness displayed is enough. I enter without looking…with or without a motive? an idea?
