Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
Art can be engaged in the world without being specifically politically engaged.
Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
History is an angel being blown backwards into the future
Laurie Anderson
When I was four, I was a kind of sky worshipper. I would look at the sky, and I wanted to evaporate into the sky - I loved the sky. I loved looking at the trees, just because they touched the sky.
Laurie Anderson
Technology is the campfire around which we tell our stories.
Laurie Anderson
Last night, I had that dream again. I dreamt I had to take a test, in a Dairy Queen, on another planet.
Laurie Anderson
The world is a strange and wonderful place.
Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson
