Quotes from Milton Resnick

It was told in the Bible. A man fell. He bit into knowledge and fell... How do you fall without falling completely? What do you bring as knowledge to a blank canvas? How do you begin?

As soon as you set yourself up in the position of transferring paint from one place to another, your whole culture invades you. It tells you all about the history of art.

Pulling yourself up again is the most important part of your life. Getting out of the bottom that you put everything into - yourself!

The religions never wanted an art where you paint only what you see.

You always have the memory of the bottom, and fear of the bottom. And when you start going to the bottom you panic.
