— William Kentridge

4. “Forgetting is natural, remembering is the effort one makes.”

— William Kentridge

5. “The absurd, with its rupture of rationality-of conventional ways of seeing the world-is in fact an accurate and a productive way of understanding the world.”

— William Kentridge

6. “To say that one need art, or politics, that incorporate ambiguity and contradiction is not to say that one then stops recognizing and condemning things as evil.

There needs to be a strong understanding of fallibility and how the very act of certainty or authoritativeness can bring disasters.”

— William Kentridge
