"People don't stop to think how beautiful words are... It's the role of the artist - my particular role, if you will - to make words and numbers very, very special." (Robert Indiana quoted in Exhibition Catalogue, Maine, The William A Farnsworth Library and Art Museum, Indiana's Indianas, 1982, pp. 7-8)
