Art doesn't interest me. Only artists interest me. - Marcel Duchamp

"What art is, in reality, is this missing link, not the links which exist. It's not what you see that is art; art is the gap."

"All this twaddle, the existence of God, atheism, determinism, liberation, societies, death, etc., are pieces of a chess game called language, and they are amusing only if one does not preoccupy oneself with 'winning or losing this game of chess."

"I don't believe in art. I believe in artists."

"I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art - and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position."
