“A mad person sees what isn't there; A visionary sees what isn't there yet”

“There are things the artist intends, and things the viewer sees, and what the viewer sees isn't always what the artist intends. Isn't always apparent upon first viewing.”

“What you see, isn't always what you get”

“Life is what we make of it. Travel is the traveler. What we see isn't what we see but what we are.”

“Yet velvet curtains, soft cheese, compelling work and boys who can run full-tilt—it isn't enough. And if it isn't, it isn't. There's no living with that. The world is made from our imagination; our eyes enliven it, as our hands give it shape. Wanting makes it thrive; meaning is what you put in, not what you extract. You only see what you are inclined to see, and no more. We have to make the new.”

“Mamma says gratitude helps us to see what is there instead of what isn't.”
