Agnes Denes
Philosophy gets its ugly head into everything, but I don't think we live philosophy anymore. It's done.
Agnes Denes
Society likes to file you away, put you in this or that category. And I never fit any category. Maybe that's why I was left out of a lot of things, or why my work was not really understood, because there was no precedent for it.
Agnes Denes
People have too many problems during the day they don't want to think.
Agnes Denes
There's no precedent for women philosophers and there's no precedence for most of the things I did.
Agnes Denes
