"Look over the resumes of the artists under fifty in any major international museum exhibition and you will find that most of them boast an MFA from one of a couple dozen highly selective schools.(p. 47)"
"Everything goes to pieces in the first year and it comes together in the second year. Often the people who are making sense are the ones for whom it hasn't started working yet. They've still got their defenses up. Sometimes the person is simply uneducable and there is nothing you can do."
- Leslie Dick (p. 50)
"... the prevailing belief is that any artist whose work fails to display some conceptual rigor is little more than a pretender, illustrator, or designer.(p. 53)"
"Many artists believe that artists shouldn't be obliged to explain their work... It is curious that a form of oral exam has become the chief means of testing visual work. (p. 54)"
"Talent is a double-edged sword. What you are given is not really yours. What you work at, what you struggle for, what you have to take command of--that often makes for very good art."
- Paul Schimmel (p. 72)
