Robert Rauschenberg
This telegram is a work of art if I say it is.
Robert Rauschenberg

Robert Rauschenberg
You have to have the time to feel sorry for yourself in order to be a good abstract expressionist.
Robert Rauschenberg
Having to be different is the same trap as having to be the same.
Robert Rauschenberg
Curiosity is the main energy.
Robert Rauschenberg
The only thing that I could get with chance, and I never was able to use it, was that I would end up with something quite geometric or the spirit that I was interested in, indulging in, was gone.
Robert Rauschenberg
