I converted myself to Marxism through reading. The Cuban revolution had just taken place, and there was a tremendous discussion going on about it.

The right to make revolution is unconditional, for it alone establishes right.

Successful revolutions are those which end up by erasing all traces of themselves.

When I came to New York, I began to meet the people who became the most famous artists of our time. I was insecure about my own level of ability, I didn't know whether I could compete with these people and, at the same time. I was wondering what is this anyway?

The whole drive of western culture, the part of it which is serious, is towards an extreme objectification. It's carried to the point where the human subject is treated almost as if it's dirt in the works of a watch.

I'm actually a great fan of lucidity.
