• I sat on the bed. I looked at the Rorschach blot. I tried to make it look like a spreading tree, shadows pooled beneath it, but it didn't. It looked more like a dead cat I once found, the fat, glistening grubs writhing blindly, squirming over each other, frantically tunneling away from the light. But even that isn't the real horror. The horror is this: in the end, it is simply a picture of empty meaningless blackness.

Dice que se siente solo en un mundo amenazador en el que lo que le espera es vago e incierto. El médico le dice: "El tratamiento es sencillo. El gran payaso Pagliacci está en la ciudad esta noche.

• La cuestión es que la verdad (en minúscula) es una cuestión de definición relativa a la cuadrícula que se esté utilizando en ese momento, y que la verdad (en mayúscula), la realidad metafísica, es totalmente irrelevante para las cuadrículas. Elige una cuadrícula, y a través de ella parte del caos aparece ordenado y parte aparece desordenado. Elige otra cuadrícula, y el mismo caos aparecerá ordenado y desordenado de forma diferente. La realidad es el Rorschach original. ¡Verdaderamente! Hasta aquí hemos llegado.

• I wanted to make a massive work so as soon as Nick Mitzevich invited me I said yes straight away and began to make the work. The island was made in direct response.

• I am fond of reminding my yoga students of the saying "It takes one to know one" when they become lost I condemnation and judgment of others. The world that we perceive is a reflection of our own states of mind and reveals our own level of consciousness. The world is little more than a Rorschach blot in which we see our own desire systems projected. We see what we want to see. (116)
