    John Lennon
    “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”
    John Lennon

    Gerhard Richter
    “It makes no sense to expect or claim to 'make the invisible visible', or the unknown known, or the unthinkable thinkable. We can draw conclusions about the invisible; we can postulate its existence with relative certainty. But all we can represent is an analogy, which stands for the invisible but is not it.”
    Gerhard Richter

  • #16
    Gerhard Richter
    “I blur things to make everything equally important and equally unimportant. I blur things so that they do not look artistic or craftsmanlike but technological, smooth and perfect. I blur things to make all the parts a closer fit. Perhaps I also blur out the excess of unimportant information.”
    Gerhard Richter

    “Art is the highest form of hope.”
    Gerhard Richter

  • #18
    Gerhard Richter
    “To talk about paintings is not only difficult but perhaps pointless too. You can only express in words what words are capable of expressing-- what language can communicate. Painting has nothing to do with that.”
    Gerhard Richter

  • #19

    “She had blue skin,
    And so did he.
    He kept it hid
    And so did she.
    They searched for blue
    Their whole life through,
    Then passed right by-
    And never knew.”
    Shel Silverstein, Every Thing on It

  • #20
    Oscar Wilde
    “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.”
    Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

  • #21
    William Shakespeare
    “We know what we are, but not what we may be.”
    William Shakespeare

  • #22
    Jean-Paul Sartre

    “who are you
    really?

    you are not a name
    or a height, or a weight
    or a gender
    you are not an age
    and you are not where you are from

    you are your favorite books
    and the songs stuck in your head
    you are your thoughts
    and what you eat for breakfast
    on Saturday mornings

    you are a thousand things
    but everyone chooses
    to see the million things
    you are not

    you are not
    where you are from
    you are
    where you are going
    and i'd like
    to go there
    too”
    m.k

    Beryl Markham
    “You can live a lifetime and, at the end of it, know more about other people than you know about yourself. You learn to watch other people, but you never watch yourself because you strive against loneliness. If you read a book, or shuffle a deck of cards, or care for a dog, you are avoiding yourself. The abhorrence of loneliness is as natural as wanting to live at all. If it were otherwise, men would never have bothered to make an alphabet, nor to have fashioned words out of what were only animal sounds, nor to have crossed continents - each man to see what the other looked like.”
    Beryl Markham, West with the Night
