Marcel Duchamp
Three or four drops of height have nothing to do with savageness.
Marcel Duchamp
My art would be that of living: each moment, each breath is a work inscribed nowhere.
Marcel Duchamp
The life of an artist is like the life of a monk, a lewd monk if you like, very Rabelaisian. It is an ordination.
Marcel Duchamp
In my day artists wanted to be outcasts, pariahs. Now they are all integrated into society
