In art, theories are as useful as a doctor's prescription; one must be sick to believe them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I really don't like art where you need to know so much theory to understand. If the theory is removed, it doesn't do anything. That means that this work is an illustration of theory, and I don't believe in the power of the work itself.
Art is what can't be proven mathematically, right, it's where science ends. It's the part that makes you feel good, but you don't know why.
Theories, for me, are just about freeing your mind. It doesn't mean the theory is going to work like a scientific theory works. It's about freeing your mind and making you think a different way.
Art is a kind of illness.
You know very well that unless you're a scientist, it's much more important for a theory to be shapely, than for it to be true.
Theory helps us to bear our ignorance of facts.
When you come up with a theory, you fall in love with the beauty the simplicity and elegance of it. But then you have to get a sheet of paper and pencil and crack out all the details. Hundreds and hundreds of pages. Because you have to prove it.
I know my theories and findings are hard for you to accept because they are so original and extraordinary.
I'm not sure what theory is, unless it's the pursuit of fundamental questions.
A theory is no more like a fact than a photograph is like a person.
