"The touchstone of an art is in its precision." - Ezra Pound, from the essay 'The Serious Artist'

 


"I have picked flowers where I found them –

Have picked up seashells and rocks and pieces of wood that I liked

When I found the beautiful white bones of the desert I picked them up and brought them home too.

I have used these things to say what is it to me the wideness and wonder of the world as I live in it."

– Georgia O'Keefe

Whenever we work physically we find things that we never could if we did nothing but think. - Julian Beck

Unlike machines, human minds create ideas. - Arno Penzias

 

"Musical sounds act directly on the soul and finds an echo there because, though to varying extents, music is innate in us" - Jacques Dalcroze

"Everyone knows that yellow, orange and red suggest ideas of joy and plenty"

    Delacroix (1901)

"Every blink of an eye brings a picture to the human mind"

    Adrian Frutiger


"I think you are so lucky not facing the light – that's a very bad proposition architecturally. I hope it will sink into you. Never design houses where people have to sit facing the light. If you are sideways, you can turn your head to see. And that's the best way. That's the way it should be. Unfortunately every building has four sides. That's the beauty of the triangle. With the triangle you can manage it so that nobody has to sit facing the light. Lay it out on paper some time, and you'll see."

–Frank Lloyd Wright (Dec. 7, 1958)

"If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?"

    George Carlin

"The stone can only be found when the search lies heavily on the searcher - thou seekest hard and findest not. Seek not and thou whilst find."
