"Say to yourselves: I am going to work in order to see myself and free myself. While working and in the work I must be on the alert to see myself. When I see myself in the work I will know that that is the work I am supposed to do. I will not have much time for other people's problems. I will have time to be by myself almost all the time and it will be a quiet life."
–– Agnes Martin (1912-2004), Canadian-born American abstract painter
