Vladimir Nabokov
In my low periods, I wondered what was the point of creating art. For whom? Are we animating God? Are we talking to ourselves? And what was the ultimate goal? To have one's work caged in art's great zoos - the Modern, the Met, the Louvre? Patti Smith
She felt a cage coming down around her; too late she realized that he had her trapped by the heart. And like any unwilling animal that was well and truly caught, she could escape only by leaving a piece of herself behind. Jodi Picoult
Some of the snowballs have a kind of animal energy. Not just because of the materials inside them, but in the way that they appear caged, captured. Andy Goldsworthy
Jeanette Winterson quote: "With animal behavior, they're all fine until you introduce..."
