About Me

We're also hanging out at the much more user-friendly VIRB. Check it out.

But, as well as the body, the spirit fortifies itself and develops itself by the exercise. As a neglected body which becomes weak and finally impotent, the spirit becomes weaker. The innate feeling of the artist is like the talent of the Gospel which must not be buried. The artist which lets its gifts unemployed is the lazy servant.
W. Kandinsky

Life was created in the valleys. It blew up onto the hills on the old terrors, the old lusts, the old despairs. That's why you must walk up the hills so you can ride down.
Darl Bundren

Sounds Like: The future, the future, how was he ever to get into the future? Let the present be past, then it could do no more harm to him. Ah, if only the present could be crossed out! The sorrows of the world are, because we live too little in the future. What would it matter in a hundred years if he were beaten today? Let the present be past and we shall not notice the bruises.
Elias Canetti, Auto da FÃ©
...the expression power of linear forms. The pathos of a force entering in action and whose victorious effort is annoyed by no obstacle, thats lyricism. Thats because the straight line proceeds from the action of a unique force with no opposition that its domain is lyricism. When on the opposite two forces are in presence and enter in conflict, as this is the case with the curve or with the angular line, we are in the drama.
M. Henry, Seeing the Invisible
Accept the sacrifice of my confessions which my tongue sets before you. You formed the tongue and moved it to make confession to your name. Heal Thou all my bones, and let them say, O Lord, who is like unto Thee. When we confess to you, we do not inform you of what is happening inside us; for the closed heart does not shut out your eye, and man's hardness cannot resist your hand. You dissolve it at your pleasure, either in pity or in punishment, and nothing can hide itself from Thy heat.
