“A fine work of art - music, dance, painting, story - has the power to silence the chatter in the mind and lift us to another place.”
“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.”
“The Fine Arts are five in number: Painting, Music, Poetry, Sculpture, and Architecture--whereof the principle branch is Confectionery.”
“Painting is the silence of thought and the music of sight.”
“.....and I smile and knowwhy people write music and paint and dance, lifted as if they can fly, because this ache crashing inside needs to be free.sometimes, love becomes a melodyothers hum for years.”
“I wash my hands of those who imagine chattering to be knowledge, silence to be ignorance, and affection to be art.”
