― Liz Braswell, What Once Was Mine

“Dietro le Tuileries, il cielo si tingeva di ardesia, gli alberi del giardino formavano due masse enormi, violacee in alto. Si accendevano i lampioni a gas, e la Senna, verdastra in tutta la sua estensione, si lacerava in un marezzo d'argento contro i pilastri del ponte.”
― Gustave Flaubert, L'Éducation sentimentale

“He stumbled uncertainly after her. The encircling torch beams were drooping now slightly as if they were abdicating to this strange, quiet girl who alone in this Universe of dark confusion seemed to know what she was doing.”
― Douglas Adams

“A bit obsessive, somewhat unpredictable, but I suppose that is part and parcel of having an artistic temperament.”
― Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus

“All forms of procreation including birth and artistic endeavors are a response to the imminence of death. All acts of creation begin with termination of the old lifeless habits and the vigorous pursuit of life sustaining ideas.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“We each engage in artistic conversations with the external environment. Rather than merely surrendering to forces that surround us, our inspired action of responding with heart and mind composes our final configuration.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“I absolutely treasure this uniqueness, this brilliant originative impression, that I have surrounded within my imaginative curiosity. I'm gonna prevail and continue the aesthetic uniqueness of myself.
I'm gonna become the next modern D.L. Lewis.

― D.L. Lewis

“Be successful, act successful, become successful.”
― D.L. Lewis

“A true artistic image gives the beholder a simultaneous experience of the most complex, contradictory, sometimes even mutually exclusive feelings. It is not possible to catch the moment at which the positive goes over into its opposite, or when the negative starts moving towards the positive. Infinity is germane, inherent in the very structure of the image.”
― Andre Tarkovsky

“Art bears the same relationship to society that the dream bears to mental life.”
― Jordan B. Peterson, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules For Life

“It was a wild, animalistic compulsion, an urgent need to have his insights and emotions fly from his heart and onto a page, or a screen, or shadows on a rock.”
― Nick Oliveri, The Conjurer

“For artists, obsession obviously comes in handy. It not only gives us the energy and power to create the artistic object, but it fills up our minds in a way few other things could. But can obsession fill the death hole? Of course not, though maybe it is out of nothingness that we all begin to create. If the world doesn't exist then we will make our own world. Maybe all this fever of creation, this need to be special, this frenzy--what Thomas Wolfe called an "enormous task of excavation" of self--this creation comes at least in part out of the terror of pure emptiness, the terror of the end. The need to fill the void, to make something out of this vast sense of nothing. Extreme fear of oblivion creating extreme creation. We hurl ourselves against the death void.”
― David Gessner

“Art flows well when music is the conduit.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson, Night of a Thousand Thoughts

― Michael Bassey Johnson, Night of a Thousand Thoughts

“You've got a storm of stars in your skin”

“The paradox of wokeism is that, in its quest for inclusivity, it often becomes exclusionary, shutting down conversations deemed uncomfortable or offensive. This narrowing of acceptable discourse harms the essence of free speech, as it places arbitrary boundaries on what can be said or joked about. Comedy, in particular, serves as a barometer for societal norms and challenges our preconceptions. Suppressing comedic expression not only hampers artistic freedom but also stifles the very laughter that can bridge divides and foster understanding.”
― James William Steven Parker

“Wokeism's impact on free speech becomes pronounced when it leads to the cancellation of individuals expressing opinions, even through the medium of comedy. Comedy, with its ability to dissect societal norms and provoke thought, should be a space where diverse perspectives flourish, free from the constraints of cancel culture. The suppression of comedic expression not only stifles artistic freedom but also hampers the collective ability to navigate complex issues through humor, hindering the open exchange of ideas that is vital for a thriving society.”
― James William Steven Parker

“The Latvian painter has a special love for diffused outdoor light which seems to penetrate the bodies and emanate from them," a light that reappears within, and from behind, Rothko's paintings, an illumination glimpsed through a hazy doorway or window, a light longed for but beyond reach.”

“And she wondered: if he were a painting, could she read him better?”
― Megan Scott, The Temptation of Magic
