God, of thy goodness, give me Thyself; for Thou art enough for me, and I can ask for nothing less that can be full honor to Thee. And if I ask anything that is less, ever Shall I be in want, for only in Thee have I all.

Art is a marriage of the conscious and the unconscious.
Jean CocteauJean Cocteau ART is domination. It’s making people think that for that precise moment in time there is only one way, one voice. Yours.
Maria CallasMaria Callas The business and design of the Royal Society is: To improve the knowledge of naturall things, and all useful Arts, Manufactures, Mechanic practices, Engines and Inventions by Experiments-(not meddling with Divinity, Metaphysics, Moralls, Politicks, Grammar, Rhetoric or Logick).
Robert HookeRobert Hooke Art is science in the flesh.
Jean CocteauJean Cocteau Learn how to meditate on paper. Drawing and writing are forms of meditation. Learn how to contemplate works of art. Learn how to pray in the streets or in the country. Know how to meditate not only when you have a book in your hand but when you are waiting for a bus or riding in a train.
Thomas MertonThomas Merton Aesthetic value is often the by-product of the artist striving to do something else.
Evelyn WaughEvelyn Waugh The reward of art is not fame or success but intoxication: that is why so many bad artists are unable to give it up.
Jean CocteauJean Cocteau Put your own twist to it. That’s how you say relevant. Or things get old and boring.
