“In our view the Olympic idea involves a strong physical culture supplemented on the one hand by mobility, what is so aptly called 'fair play', and on the other hand by aesthetics, that is the cultivation of what is beautiful and graceful.”

“The important thing in life is not victory but combat; it is not to have vanquished but to have fought well.”

“In no way can sport be considered a luxury object.”

“It's great that New York has large spaces for art. But the enormous immaculate box has become a dated, even oppressive place. Many of these spaces were designed for sprawling installations, large paintings, and the Relational Aesthetics work of the past fifteen years.”

“I get a real thrill for being 'overtly queer' in my aesthetic.”

“I always loved aesthetics. Not particularly fashion, but an idea of beauty.”
