Of course, there were difficulties, because in comparison to my ideal, I didn39;t even come close.
And what is it that connects Vermeer, Palladio, Bach, Cage?
It39;s that same quality I39;ve been talking about. It39;s neither contrived, nor surprising and smart, not baffling, not witty, not interesting, not cynical, it can39;t be planned and it probably can39;t even be described. It39;s just good.

Well, in the first place, I believe that you always have to believe. It39;s the only way; after all we both believe that we will do this exhibition. But I can39;t believe in God, as such, he39;s either too big or too small for me, and always incomprehensible, unbelievable.
