I read a lot, just not in libraries, and having a deep thought, for me anyway,
does not necessitate being any in specific place or time.

I dont really think that me saying "anything can be art" is a proclamation of
its definition, just how I feel about it personally. I simply don't adhere to
the standard of trying to define art as one specific thing.

"He would not sign his pictures, he said, or admit publicly that he had made
them, or describe how they were made. He plainly expected puffed up critics to
sweat bullets and excrete sizable chunks of masonry when trying to answer his
cunningly innocent question: "Art or not?"

"I was pleased to reply with an epistle which was frankly vengeful, since he
and Father had screwed me out of a liberal arts college education: "Dear
Brother: This is almost like telling you about the birds and the bees," I
began. "There are many good people who are beneficially stimulated by some, but
not all manmade arrangements of colors and shapes on flat surfaces, essentially
nonsense. "You yourself are gratified by some music, arrangements of noise, and
again essentially nonsense. If I were to kick a bucket down the cellar stairs,
and then say to you that the racket I had made was philosophically on a par
with The Magic Flute, this would not be the beginning of a long and upsetting
debate. An utterly satisfactory and complete response on your part would be, "I
like what Mozart did, and I hate what the bucket did."
