The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?
Today painters do not have to go to a subject matter outside of themselves. Most modern painters work from a different source. They work from within.
A strange thing is memory, and hope; one looks backward, and the other forward; one is of today, the other of tomorrow. Memory is history recorded in our brain, memory is a painter, it paints pictures of the past and of the day.
The Pakistani writers are addressing change and what's happening today in the world. There is something completely contemporary in this writing.
We repeat today that we are with the establishment of a Palestinian state on any liberated part of Palestinian land that is agreed upon by the Palestinian people, without recognizing Israel or conceding any inch of historical Palestine.
In the early 1980s, I wrote a book called 'The Complete Guide to Financial Privacy.' If I would write that book today, it would be a pamphlet. There is precious little privacy left.
I think when Madonna did sexy stuff, she looked more in control. And I think it looked more like she was breaking boundaries. Today, it feels like it's pandering to everything that's wrong, and I don't think it's nice, especially for young girls.
The way we built 'Future Shock,' you have a height map and instanced 3-D objects rendering on top - that, believe it or not, is still how we build today. It's our basic paradigm for how to build a space.
Today I must write a paragraph or a page better than I did yesterday.
It must take account of what it decrees for today in order that today may not paralyze tomorrow.
Judicial judgment must take deep account of the day before yesterday in order that yesterday may not paralyze today.
Anyone who truly understands what apartheid was cannot possibly look around Israel today and honestly claim there is any kind of parity.
Today, the notion of progress in a single line without goal or limit seems perhaps the most parochial notion of a very parochial century.
I made my third parole and I believe if I had made it the first time, I wouldn't be here today. I still would've been out there doing stupid stuff.
Today I begin to understand what love must be, if it exists... When we are parted, we each feel the lack of the other half of ourselves. We are incomplete like a book in two volumes of which the first has been lost. That is what I imagine love to be: incompleteness in absence.
We can today open wide the history of their administrations and point with pride to every act, and challenge the world to point out a single act stained with injustice to the North, or with partiality to their own section.
I actually regard Facebook as a huge bore, but I cannot refrain from participating in it. I guess I crave the feeling of hope it gives me to think that today will be different from yesterday, that I will find an interesting comment or poke or video, and on the extremely rare occasion when that happens, I am just thrilled.
All the sculptures of today, like those of the past, will end one day in pieces... So it is important to fashion ones work carefully in its smallest recess and charge every particle of matter with life.
Government in the U.S. today is a senior partner in every business in the country.
People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.
