Marina Abramovic
If we go for the easy way, then we never change.
Marina Abramovic

Marina Abramovic
All my inspiration comes from life. That's how it never stops, in a way.
Marina Abramovic
The most revolutionary ideas are not sellable, but only mind-changing.
Marina Abramovic
To control the breathing is to control the mind. With different patterns of breathing, you can fall in love, you can hate someone, you can feel the whole spectrum of feelings just by changing your breathing.
Marina Abramovic
I always sent my mother all these huge books I made. When my mother died, I was cleaning her cupboard, and these big books were only 20 pages long. She edited out, maybe burned, every single photograph where I'm naked.
Marina Abramovic
Don't even ask me why. I do not know, I have no answer to this insane behaviour.
