"i could take a cow and implant a camera in it and let it amble around in the city or in its own domain. If the camera was programmed to go off at an indeterminate series of moments, the samplings would be fantastic. We're not so damned inspired every day! If we rely on what we meet, some inspiration will arise. As an example, if i go into a grocery store... if i am smart I will take home what is best that day. i will not say that i want to buy apples today or that i want to buy oranges today... i buy the best of what there is that day. if the beef looks good, i'm not going to buy lamb... The point of this is: if you work this way, if you live this way, if you just exist this way, you will find that by some strange coincidence, you will have brought together a number of things which make a magnificent meal. you consume this thing with champagne if you can afford it, and if not, you consume it just with enthusiasm." - Frederick Sommer, from "an extemporaneous talk at the art institute of chicago"
