In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.  –Ralph Waldo Emerson

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery. –Francis Bacon

The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation. You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. Seek, therefore, not to find out Who You Are, seek to determine Who You Want to Be.  –Neale Donald Walsh
