I just like to paint this wall blue. — Alfredo Jaar

In a democracy, if people don't have accurate information, how can they be active citizens? How can they be part of the debate?

To this day, we get letters at Alternative Tentacles from young teenagers who hide their Dead Kennedys albums behind their mirror or in the mattress of their bed.

The moral of the story being, you don't hide reality from your kids because then they grow up to be smarter, more aware adults. — Jello Biafra
Once we have taken the backward step to an abstract view of our whole system of beliefs, evidence, and justification, and seen that it works only, despite its pretensions, by taking the world largely for granted, we are not in a position to contrast all these appearances with an alternative reality.

In my work, it's simultaneously realities, instead of parallel. Simultaneous avoids the problem of alternate reality.

It's about finding your own existential place. — Lawrence Weiner
The Street is as large as consciousness itself. So, when creating art for the street, be mindful of where the public's head is at these days. Give the public a real alternative to the strict diet of celebrity gossip, religion, and un-reality television. — Eric Drooker

One wants never to give up this crystalline perspective. One wants to keep counterpositioning home with what one knows of alternative realities, as they exist in Tunis or Hyderabad.

As parents, we can do a great deal to further this goal by helping our children develop alternative ways of knowing the world verbally/analytically and visually/spatially.

My most urgent suggestions to parents are concerned with the use of words, or rather, not using words. — Betty Edwards
