Robert Rauschenberg
An empty canvas is full.
Robert Rauschenberg
Having to be different is the same trap as having to be the same.
Robert Rauschenberg
I was much happier when I had less responsibility... when my only responsibility was to my work and to myself.
Robert Rauschenberg
I really feel sorry for people who think things like soap dishes or mirrors or Coke bottles are ugly, because they're surrounded by things like that all day long, and it must make them miserable.
Robert Rauschenberg
Curiosity is the main energy.
Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg
