* There is no substitute for knowledge. To this day, I read three newspapers a day. It is impossible to read a paper without being exposed to ideas. And ideas.. more than money.. are the real currency for success. Eli Broad (Jewish American billionaire businessman, art collector and philanthropist)
*The most important adage and the only adage is, the customer comes first, whatever the business, the customer comes first. Kerry Stokes (Australian billionaire media magnate and art collector)
* If you can’t take a good kicking, you shouldn’t parade how much luckier you are than other people. Charles Saatchi
* You like it, that’s all, whether it’s a landscape or abstract. You like it. It hits you. You don’t have to read it. The work of art-sculpture or painting-forces your eye. Clement Greenberg
* Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive.. the risk to be alive and express what we really are/ Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.../ I can tell you that we have only one mission and that is to make ourselves happy. The only way we can be happy is by being who we are / Every human is an artist. And this is the main art that we have: the creation of our story. Don Miguel Ruiz
* One must to do what is not there, what has never been done./ Art is not chaste. It should be forbidden to ignorant innocents. It should never be put in contact with the insufficiently prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Pablo Picasso
* I believe in the future of art, but not necessarily in the way it is told. I find a lot of work done 100 years ago more forward looking than what was done in the last ten years. Peter Doig
