some words on art

“To every man, in his acquaintance with a new art, there comes a moment when that which before was meaningless first lifts, as it were, one corner of the curtain that hides its mystery, and reveals, in a burst of delight which later and fuller understanding can hardly ever equal, one glimpse of the indefinite possibilities within.”

- C.S. Lewis, Out of the Silent Planet

“To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist.”

- Schumann

“The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.” 

-Piet Mondrian

“There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it.”

-Henry Moore

“No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.”

- Oscar Wilde

“What you see & what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing.

 It also depends on what kind of person you are.”

- C.S. Lewis
