“The greatest art is to shape the quality of the day. ”

“To affect the quality of the day - that is the highest of the arts.”

“In the elder days of Art,Builders wrought with greatest careEach minute and unseen part;For the Gods are everywhere”

“Whether you dance, draw, make music, shoot field goals, build houses, tune engines, or sit around all day watching television, you are an artist. Your single greatest work of art is your self. As with any art form, the more you understand and develop your talents, the more empowered and masterful you become as an artist. This is particularly important when engaging in the art of consciously shaping your own life.”

“Quietness and confidence shall be your greatest quality.”

“The term [Americanization] invokes the transformation of the landscape into unnatural mechanical shapes, of night into day, of speed for its own sake, an irrational passion for novelty at the expense of quality, a worship of gimmickry.”
