There is just so much stuff in the world that, to me, is devoid of any real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on things that matter.

My preference for clear structures is the result of my desire - perhaps illusory - to keep track of things and maintain my grip on the world.

I try to recognize that there is no such thing as having it all - and it's impossible to be perfect. You just have to let certain things go.

I wanted nothing else than to make the object as perfect as possible.

There is a beauty and clarity that comes from simplicity that we sometimes do not appreciate in our thirst for intricate solutions.

Creating things sometimes is difficult.

The great problem was the selection of the readymade. I needed to choose an object without it impressing me: that is to say, without it providing any sort of aesthetic delectation. Moreover, I needed to reduce my own personal taste to absolute zero.

Tis this desire of bending all things to our own purposes which turns them into confusion and is the chief source of every error in our lives.

You have to establish in your life some sense of prioritizing things, of giving emphasis to the important things and of laying aside the unimportant things that will lead to nothing.
