Poignant Quotes with the Word "Poop" in Them, Part 1

"Art is simply this: the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination. That's it. A nightstand is indeed art. The craftsman saw wood, said "this will not do," and formed a nightstand. If another man comes along, sees a nightstand, and says to himself, "but it could be something else", rotates it thirty degrees and lays a poop on it, that would also be art. Art is not a magical thing. It is not majestic, moving, ephemeral, or hard to define and imagine. It can be those things, but art is a very basic concept. Art does not happen by accident. That is the only qualification. You intend to make art. And whether is says something profound, plays with the emotions of the viewers, is aesthetically pleasing, or any of that is secondary. Those are qualities of GOOD art. But there is also BAD art and SIMPLY art, and that's fine and expected."
