Henry David Thoreau

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite–only a sense of  ‘the’ existence ‘of God’.  (quotes mine)

Mark twain

You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.

Yogi Berra

You got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there

Nelson Mandela

“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”

going somewhere?

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.  ::: Lao Tzu :::

the architecture of happiness

“We call a thing beautiful when it contains in a concentrated form those qualities, which we personally or as a society lack.  We respect a style that can move us away from what we fear and towards what we crave.”

::: Alain de Botton :::

the mysterious

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. His eyes are closed.

::: Albert Einstein :::

tickling stones

I see no reason why I should tickle stones or waste time on polishing bronze. Louise Nevelson

shock of the new

“Fear always accompanies the making of art and is generated by the shock of seeing an idea take form – a sculpture in the mind is safe and secure – a work rarely behaves as I intend, uncertainty and unpredictability are always present – even in a work as familiar as this one. Whatever the result, it is my responsibility which I take seriously – it has to be right, whatever right means.”
