I would hope they would experience the kind of ecstasy that I experience when I encounter what seems to me a great work of art that has a certain compositional beauty, a certain kind of balance, a certain kind of rhythmic energy that can’t quite be explained. ((Standing On Only One Leg, Urban Altars)) I can tell if once — when I go to a play, which I don’t do anymore, but I used to be able to tell if the play was good. Sometimes I’d be sitting there, I’d be saying, “At moments I like this, and at moments, I don’t like this.” But I would notice that if my solar plexus was tense, yeah, it was good. ((Sculpting In Time)) It was energizing me in the right way. ((Intelligence Of Nature))
