"I'm not so interested in art per se.

It's only one occupation, and it hasn't been my whole life, far from it. You see, I've decided that art is a habit-forming drug. It's only one occupation, and it hasn't been my whole life, far from it. You see I've decided that art is a habit-forming drug. That's all it is, for the artist, for the collector, for anybody connected with it. Art has absolutely no existence as veracity, as truth. People always speak of it with this great, religious reverence, but why should it be so revered? It's a drug, that's all. The more I go on the more I'm convinced of it... I'm afraid I'm an agnostic in art. I just don't believe in it with all the mystical trimmings. As a drug it's probably very useful for a number of people, very sedative, but as religion it's not even as good as God."

-Marcel Duchamp
