Great perils have this beauty that they bring to light the fraternity of strangers.

What irritates me is the bland way people go around saying 'Oh our attitude has changed. We don't dislike these people any more.' But by the strangest coincidence they haven't taken away the injustice the laws are still on the books.

But I think bands that rolled in with a big attitude like they were some big deal I just found that very strange.

The strangeness will wear off and I think we will discover the deeper meanings in modern art.

A metaphysical tour de force of untethered meaning and involuting interlocking contrapuntal rhythms 'The Clock' is more than a movie or even a work of art. It is so strange and other-ish that it becomes a stream-of-consciousness algorithm unto itself - something almost inhuman.

A rose is the visible result of an infinitude of complicated goings on in the bosom of the earth and in the air above and similarly a work of art is the product of strange activities in the human mind.

Religion and art spring from the same root and are close kin. Economics and art are strangers.

It is the addition of strangeness to beauty that constitutes the romantic character in art.

What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.

Opera next to Gothic architecture is one of the strangest inventions of Western man. It could not have been foreseen by any logical process.
