Art has always been and is in its very essence the boldest departure from nature. It is the bridge into the spirit world.

I never, for instance, have the urge to paint animals 'the way I see them,' but rather the way they are... The way they themselves look at the world and feel their being

We are staunch and true and in rather a champagne mood.

Art is nothing but the expression of our dream; the more we surrender to it the closer we get to the inner truth of things, our dream-life, the true life that scorns questions and does not see them.

Is there a more mysterious idea than to imagine how nature is reflected in the eyes of animals?

Today we are searching for things in nature that are hidden behind the veil of appearance... We look for and paint this inner, spiritual side of nature.

The great artists do not seek their forms in the midst of the past, but take the deepest soundings they can of the genuine, profoundest of their age.

What appears spectral today will be natural tomorrow.

Like everything genuine, its inner life guarantees its truth. All works of art created by truthful minds without regard for the work's conventional exterior remain genuine for all times...

Art will liberate itself from the needs and desires of men. No longer will we paint a forest ora horseas we like oras theyappear to us, but as they really are.

Todayart is moving in a direction of which our fathers would never even have dreamed.We stand before the new pictures as in a dream and we hear the apocalyptic horsemen in the air.

If you treat yourself well, you will be good to others,

I’m surrounding by beautiful sounds, my son singing in his room and a gentle rain. There are so many simple pleasures God gives us we just have to listen for them.

The Must be worthless by our estimation or keep us enslaved by an intemperate love of it.

History is a vision of God's creation on the move.

How do I feel about war? Well anybody I guess, I hope, I don't like it.

Outside major darkness where the circle is complete there's no fear that lovers born will ever fail to meet

I'm just into spirituality. I believe that in a previous life I used to be Shirley MacLaine.

There should be a stated day for commemorating the birthday of our Savior, because there is danger that what may be done on any day, will be neglected.

I skate about 15 to 20 hours a week and also incorporate a lot of off-ice training. I take ballet and Pilates classes and lift weights with my physical therapist when I'm not on the ice.

It is as if I can see my body in front of me.
