I thank you all and here dismiss you all, and to the love and favor of my country commit myself, my person, and the cause.
Accept that you are where you are and what you are because of your own choices and decisions.
Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, What's in it for me?
It doesn't matter where you came from, it doesn't matter how poor you are, it doesn't matter where your family was. It all doesn't matter. You can achieve anything if you have really clear goals and if you work really hard to learn what you need to learn.
The act of taking the first step is what separates the winners from the losers.
Luck is predictable; the harder you work, the luckier you get.
Take a deep breath, relax and imagine yourself exactly as you wish to be.
I’ll love you with all my heart, in every life, through every death. I will not be bound by anything but my love for you.
Just write and love what you're writing. And if you're not loving what you're writing, take a look at why and fix that.

What does it mean when you hook up your work to that of a late modernist giant working in a reductive vein - Ad Reinhardt, Agnes Martin, Robert Ryman, Ellsworth Kelly, Frank Stella, or Donald Judd, for example - like a caboose? I am not talking about engaging directly with another artist's work or ideas, but of perpetuating a look or, in the case of Wade Guyton, the various monochromatic, striped and geometric surfaces we associate with Minimalism.
