“Art is the process of relationship. Through art we create and share ourselves.”

“Art is excitement which if we can't create ourselves, we can at least, through love of it, make available to others.”

“Through learning we re-create ourselves. Through learning we become able to do something we never were able to do. Through learning we reperceive the world and our relationship to it. Through learning we extend our capacity to create, to be part of the generative process of life”

“Art was as much in the activity as in the results. Works of art were not just the finished product, but the thought, the action, the process that created them.”

“The sole substitute for an experience we have not ourselves lived through is art and literature.”

“...that out of the quarrel with others we produce rhetoric, matter for the editorial page, while out of the quarrel with ourselves we create art.”
