Arthur Schopenhauer, “Die Kunst und das Schöne Heim”, #3, Dec. 1958
“Die Zeit ist eine Vorstellung, aus der sich alles wegdenken läßt, nur nicht sie selbs” (Time is an idea from which everything can be thought away* except itself)
*can also be translated as “removed”
“Hustler”, November 1977
Remember, don’t smoke kids. FYI: This PSA follows an ad for Hustler branded rolling papers called ‘X-Rated Papers’ and I find that both amusing and hypocritical. *shrugs*
Lee Edwards, “Son of Celluloid” by Clive Barker, 1991
“Has any of your work caused controversy or indeed ever been banned?
LE: I remember at least one cover being rejected as it was felt to be over the top. When I did Clive Barker’s Son of Celluloid I painted a disfigured Marilyn Monroe for the cover. I felt there were bound to be howls of outrage from dedicated Marilyn fans. She is such an icon for some people. In the event the publishers received just one solitary complaint. I was really disappointed.”
