“They [the visitors in his studio, praising his work] see poetry in what I have done. No, I apply my method and that is all there is to it.”

“Whatever work I've done,
whatever I have though,
was praise with my body
and praise hidden
inside my head.”

“I can only explain to some artists, who would be my collaborators and not my pupils, the method by which, in my opinion, one becomes a painter, by which I myself have tried to become one since my earliest days, leaving to each person the complete control of his individuality, the full liberty of his own expression in the application of this method. To achieve this aim, the organization of a communal studio, recalling those extremely fruitful collaborations of the studios of the Renaissance, could certainly be useful and contribute to the opening of the era of modern painting.”

“All kinds of music are not suited to praise God and to be heard in the sanctuary; all methods of philosophy are not fit for discoursing worthily of God, His power, the principles of His operations, and His mysteries.”

“This method of mine takes its beginnings where Cavalieri ends his Method of indivisibles…. for as his was the Geometry of indivisibles, so I have chosen to call my method the Arithmetic of infinitesimals.”

“I would be willing to live and be farther serviceable to God and his people; but my work is done. Yet God will be with his people.”

“If you say Ram Ram Ram and Allah Allah Allah, you will get confused. So one god is enough. For me Bindu has never done the same thing. There is logic in every abstract form that I make. My work is like poetry and it should create a different atmosphere for the visitor. Poetry, literaturea and art seem simple but it is very difficult to understand it.”

“but as God said,
crossing his legs,
I see where I have made plenty of poets
but not so very much
poetry.”

“I know what his poetry will be about. What poetry is always about. The cruelty of the poet's mistress.”

“I really find listening to and reading the work of lyricists and songwriters as essential to my work as reading poetry itself. It is all poetry.”
