And, by the way, architecture is also a very polluted art in the sense that it’s polluted by life, and by the complexity of things Picture Quote #1

Anthropology provides a scientific basis for dealing with the crucial dilemma of the world today how can peoples of different appearance, mutually unintelligible languages, and dissimilar ways of life get along peaceably together Picture Quote #1

You have a lot to learn, young man. Philosophy. Theology. Literature. Poetry. Drama. History. Archeology. Anthropology. Mythology. Music. These are your tools as much as brush and pigment.

To surmount the past, you must know the past Picture Quote #1

I find anthropology is a marvellous discipline to shock me out of my own world into another world Picture Quote #1

Anthropology demands the open-mindedness with which one must look and listen, record in astonishment and wonder that which one would not have been able to guess Picture Quote #1

Anthropology studies different cultures; mainly primitive, but it doesn’t think its own culture is primitive, unfortunately. There is no field that you can study today that isn’t trapped in the culture in some way. It’s hard to escape your culture Picture Quote #1

Cultural anthropology is more and more rapidly getting to realize itself as a strictly historical science Picture Quote #1

I know of no department of natural science more likely to reward a man who goes into it thoroughly than anthropology. There is an immense deal to be done in the science pure and simple, and it is one of those branches of inquiry which brings one into contact with the great problems of humanity in every direction Picture Quote #1

If I’d have gone to art school, or stayed in anthropology, I probably would have ended up back in film... Mostly I just followed my inner feelings and passions... and kept going to where it got warmer and warmer, until it finally got hot... Everybody has talent. It’s just a matter of moving around until you’ve discovered what it is Picture Quote #1
