Three or four drops of height have nothing to do with savageness.
Marcel Duchamp
If a shadow is a two-dimensional projection of the three-dimensional world, then the three-dimensional world as we know it is the projection of the four-dimensional Universe.
Marcel Duchamp
The individual, man as a man, man as a brain, if you like, interests me more than what he makes, because I've noticed that most artists only repeat themselves.

Marcel Duchamp
It's the viewer that makes the work.
Marcel Duchamp
I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.
Marcel Duchamp
The Chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts and these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chessboard, express their beauty abstractly, like a poem
Marcel Duchamp

Marcel Duchamp
I like living, breathing better than working...my art is that of living. Each second, each breath is a work which is inscribed nowhere, which is neither visual nor cerebral, it's a sort of constant euphoria.
Marcel Duchamp
Among our articles of lazy hardware, I recommend the faucet that stops dripping when no one is listening to it.
Marcel Duchamp
Possible reality [is obtained] by slightly bending physical and chemical laws.
Marcel Duchamp
An abstract painting need in 50 years by no means look abstract any longer.
Marcel Duchamp
Chess can be described as the movement of pieces eating one another.
Marcel Duchamp
I feel shame, not for the wrong things I have done, but for the right things that I have failed to do.
Marcel Duchamp
While all artists are not chess players, all chess players are artists.
Marcel Duchamp
