For success attitude is equally as important as ability.

It's important to debunk the myths of Africa being this benighted continent civilized only when white people arrived. In fact Africans had been creators of culture for thousands of years before. These were very intelligent subtle and sophisticated people with organized societies and great art.

Art is much less important than life but what a poor life without it.

You can calculate the worth of a man by the number of his enemies and the importance of a work of art by the harm that is spoken of it.

Of course art world ethics are important. But museums are no purer than any other institution or business. Academics aren't necessarily more high-minded than gallerists.

When museums are built these days architects directors and trustees seem most concerned about social space: places to have parties eat dinner wine-and-dine donors. Sure these are important these days - museums have to bring in money - but they gobble up space and push the art itself far away from the entrance.

If the Frieze Art Fair catches on I imagine at least two great things happening. First we will once again have a huge art fair in town that isn't too annoying to go to. More importantly Frieze may finally show New Yorkers that we can cross our own waters for visual culture. That would change everything.

There's a lot of thought in art. People get to talk about important things. There's a lot of sex you know in art. There's a lot of naked women and men and there's intrigue there's fakery. It's a real microcosm of the larger world.

I think art education especially in this country which government pretty much ignores is so important for young people.

It is art that makes life makes interest makes importance... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.

It is art that makes life makes interest makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

Technological considerations are of great importance to architecture and cities in the informational society.

An important work of architecture will create polemics.

Architecture is my work and I've spent my whole life at a drawing board but life is more important than architecture. What matters is to improve human beings.

It seems a fantastic paradox but it is nevertheless a most important truth that no architecture can be truly noble which is not imperfect.

Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.

The 150th anniversary of Penn State will highlight what is important and good about this distinguished institution and the fine people and research that it produces.

This anniversary serves to help remind the American people that in the wake of one of the greatest political scandals and misuse of power in our history as a nation scandal produced important reforms that served this nation well for two decades.

On this important anniversary we must remember that while we have come a long way in eliminating barriers critical work remains to ensure all Americans can live up to their full potential.
