Marcel Duchamp
There is no solution, for there is no problem.
Marcel Duchamp
Art has the lovely habit of ruining all artistic theories.
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
Among our articles of lazy hardware, I recommend the faucet that stops dripping when no one is listening to it.
Marcel Duchamp
I am interested in ideas, not merely in visual products.
Marcel Duchamp
