About Neil
"Every man and every woman is a star. That is to say ,every human being is intrinsically an independent individual with his own proper character and proper motion." Aleister Crowley
"There is absolutely no chance for a word ever to express anything. As soon as we start putting our thoughts into words and sentences, everything goes wrong." Marcel Duchamp
"Disputing Plato's theory of ideal forms, Pyrrho denied existence of absolutes. There was no possibility of arriving at an objective truth, he said, because 'nothing is in itself more this than that'. Since nothing was either wholly true or false, one should cultivate an attitude of 'indifference' and 'imperturbability' toward life, according to Pyrrho, avoiding judgements and opinions but keeping oneself in a state of alertness to each passing moment. Pyrrho's thinking was very close in some ways to the central tenets of Zen Buddhism." From Duchamp, a biography.
"The dead should not be permitted to be so much stronger than the living" from 'Duchamp, a biography' by Calvin Tomkins
"Whatever motif the painter represents, be it large or small, complicated or simple, he should do it by concentrating on its essential nature. If something of the essential is lacking ,the Soul is not manifest. He must do his work with his whole soul , if he does not work with his whole soul, the essential will not be clear. He must be severe and respectful in his work , otherwise it will lack depth of thought . He must apply zeal and reverence to complete it, otherwise the picture will not be properly finished. " KUO HSI from "The Tao of Art" by Ben Willis
