More From Damien Hirst
- "I was taught to confront things you can’t avoid. Death is one of those things. To live in a society where you’re trying not to look at it is stupid because looking at death throws us back into life with more vigour and energy. The fact that flowers don’t last for ever makes them beautiful."
- "Great art – or good art – is when you look at it, experience it and it stays in your mind. I don’t think conceptual art and traditional art are all that different."
- "Being best is a false goal, you have to measure success on your own terms."
More In Religion
- "The humanists’ replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you’ll either save yourself or you’ll be immortal. Of course, that’s a total joke, and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there’s no ethical progress whatsoever."― David Bowie
- "I am not interested in the afterlife. Religion is supposed to be about losing your ego, not preserving it eternally in optimum conditions."― Karen Armstrong
- "I think it’s perfectly just to refuse service to anyone based on behavior, but not based on race or religion."― Dean Koontz
