Carl Andre
Money is a very complicated problem. The history of money is very curious.
Carl Andre
The world is imperfect, and young people are always trying to perfect it and they always fail - which is a good thing. Who'd want to live in a perfect world?
Carl Andre
I never stopped doing what I did as a child.
Carl Andre
Once you turn something into something, its universal usage is over.
Carl Andre
