"Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love. - Rainer Maria Rilke
"THE TRUE WORK OF ART IS BORN FROM THE 'ARTIST': A MYSTERIOUS, ENIGMATIC, AND MYSTICAL CREATION. IT DETACHES ITSELF FROM HIM, IT ACQUIRES AN AUTONOMOUS LIFE, BECOMES A PERSONALITY, AN INDEPENDENT SUBJECT, ANIMATED WITH A SPIRITUAL BREATH, THE LIVING SUBJECT OF A REAL EXISTENCE OF BEING.” - VASILY KANDINSKY
"You will always find something in the last place you look." - Unknown
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anais Nin
"Getting rid of it all would be very difficult." - John Cage (when asked how he thought history would consider his work)
