Nature then, is just nature. I admit I am very impressed with it. The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can do for is to put some order in ourselves. When a man ploughs his field at the right time, it means just that.
Willem de Kooning

But gay people are sons and daughters, politicians and doctors, American heroes and daughters of American heroes.
