Living A Life You Love
“When I grew up and grew out of that belief that life and the world would get better — that there would be answers to questions; that things would be sorted out — I really learned how to live and to help others to live. Life and the world will always be presented to us in a fucked-up state, with errors and evil, and we are called upon, all the time, till the end of time, to improve and repair it. Fame and money and the wisdom of age don’t alleviate too many things. We are always on the job, and the job is to heal the world and everyone else in it. That’s the big job to which we are all called.”
— Dennis Hopper/Interview with James Grissom

“Environmental pollution advances parallel with the pollution of the world within us. Hope is denounced as utopian or illusory and discarded hope breeds violence.”
“Everyone is an artist,”
Even a dead animal presents more powers of intuition than some human beings with their stubborn rationality,”
— Joseph Beuys
