“On certain occasions art can shake very ordinary spirits, and whole worlds can be revealed by its clumsiest interpreters.”

“But art is not simply works of art; it is the spirit that knows Beauty, that has music in its being and the color of sunsets in its headkerchiefs; that can dance on a flaming world and make the world dance, too.”

“But there's a world beyond what we can see and touch, and that world lives by its own laws. What may be impossible in this very ordinary world is very possible there, and sometimes the boundaries between the two worlds disappear, and then who can say what is possible and impossible?”

“Science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.”

“They blended religion and art and science because, at base, science is no more than an investigation of a miracle we can never explain, and art is an interpretation of that miracle.”

“The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.”
