Quotes about Amusing

amuse children. That is

He wanted to write stories
that weren't moralistic and
not too frightening like
many European fairy tales.

No matter how brilliant, amusing
or intelligent the creek of
abstraction, Dadaism, Minimalism
and Conceptualism of the 20th
century was, it didn't much affect
the historical river of figuration. I
predict that in 50 years and in
300 years, figurative art will still
be strong and important.
