• The first of the month falls every month, too, North or South. And them white folks who sends bills never forgets to send them-the phone bill, the furniture bill, the water bill, the gas bill, insurance, house rent.

• The national sport of England is obstacle-racing. People fill their rooms with useless and cumbersome furniture, and spend the rest of their lives in trying to dodge it.

• That was a piece I did in 1963 with Konrad Lueg in a department store, in the furniture department. It was announced in some papers as an exhibition opening, but the people who came didn't know that it was to be a sort of Happening. I don't think it is quite right that it has become so famous anyhow. It was just a lot of fun, and the word itself, Capitalist Realism, hit just right. But it wasn't such a big deal.

• I originally came from Dresden, where Socialist Realism prevailed. Konrad Lueg and I came up with it, for the most part ironically, since I now live in capitalism. It was certainly 'realism', but in another form - the capitalist form, as it were. It wasn't meant that seriously. It was more a slogan for that particular Happening at a furniture store.

• Siempre que la vanidad y la alegría, el amor a la pompa y al vestido, a los muebles, al equipo, a los edificios, a las grandes compañías, a las diversiones costosas y a los entretenimientos elegantes se apoderan de los principios y de los juicios de los hombres y de las mujeres, no se sabe dónde se detendrán, ni a qué males, naturales, morales o políticos, nos conducirán.

• For some people, history is simply what your wife looks good standing in front of. It’s what’s cast in bronze, or framed in sepia tones, or acted out with wax dummies and period furniture. It takes place in glass bubbles filled with water and chunks of plastic snow; it’s stamped on souvenir pencils and summarized in reprint newspapers. History nowadays is recorded in memorabilia. If you can’t purchase a shopping bag that alludes to something, people won’t believe it ever happened.

• Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.

• Un logotipo no tiene por qué decir a qué se dedica una empresa. Los logotipos de restaurantes no necesitan mostrar comida, los de dentistas no necesitan mostrar dientes, los de tiendas de muebles no necesitan mostrar muebles. Que sea relevante no significa que no se pueda hacer mejor. El logotipo de Mercedes no es un coche. El logotipo de Virgin Atlantic no es un avión. El logotipo de Apple no es un ordenador. etc.

• Anoche me puse hasta arriba de absenta e hice trucos con cuchillos. Gran éxito disparando el cuchillo por debajo del piano. Las carcomas son tan malas y se comen todos los muebles que siempre puedes decir que fueron ellas.

• It is very important that you should choose the person you will marry and stay with that person. There are many people now who believe in serial love, loving one person after another. I don’t think that is good for our mental health. I think we should get it over with. Love is like measles, you know. You only get it once in your lifetime and you are immune forever. I am very happy to say that is what happened to me. I am completely immune to any temptation. All men who have passed my life after I got married might as well have been sticks of furniture.

• Me gustan todos los cuadros. Siempre miro los cuadros, buenos o malos, de las peluquerías, las tiendas de muebles, los hoteles de provincias. Soy como un bebedor que necesita vino. Mientras sea vino, no importa qué vino.

• Change is situational. Transition, on the other hand, is psychological. It is not those events, but rather the inner reorientation or self-redefinition that you have to go through in order to incorporate any of those changes into your life. Without a transition, a change is just a rearrangement of the furniture. Unless transition happens, the change won't work, because it doesn't 'take'.

• No tenemos por qué permanecer en esta mentalidad y este conjunto institucional radicalmente destructivos. Podemos cambiar, y el orden natural de las cosas podría emerger en todas nuestras organizaciones sociales -gobierno, comercio, religión- está ahí mismo, esperando a suceder. A menudo le digo a la gente que cada mente es como una habitación de una casa vieja, llena de muebles muy viejos. Coge cualquier espacio de tu mente y vacíalo de tus viejas concepciones y entrarán nuevas, buenas o malas. Así que el cambio consiste más en deshacerse que en añadir o adquirir.

• My wife is been extremely supportive and when doubt creeps in, she's there pushing me along. She's helped me move up here, get all of my furniture and brought all my groceries. That's what marriage is about: supporting each other and helping each other reach our fullest potential.

• The more subtle thing is more speculative. The world is well past its long-term carrying capacity for human beings living a European, much less an American, lifestyle predicated on planned obsolescence. International economic growth is largely a matter of accelerated movement of materials from mines and forests to the dump. Instead of saving and buying decent furniture we can pass on to our children, we charge our credit cards for shaped heaps of sawdust and glue that fall apart in less than three or four years.

• No puedo creer que Hillary Clinton quiera que el mundo piense que cada vez que se mete en problemas políticos, su marido va a aparecer rugiendo, rompiendo muebles, absorbiendo oxígeno, vomitando dióxido de carbono. Mi impresión es que es lo bastante fuerte como para defenderse, como demostró en el reciente debate demócrata. Pero aparentemente no es lo suficientemente fuerte para controlar al Sr. Bill. Y si ese es el caso, cualquier votante en su sano juicio tendría que pensárselo dos veces antes de permitir este tipo de espectáculo circense en la Casa Blanca.
