It seemed to me that it was possible to translate light, forms, and character using nothing but color, without recourse to values.

Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.

I am just beginning to understand what it is to paint. A painter should have two lives, one in which to learn, and one in which to practice his art.

You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself.

The precision of naming takes away from the uniqueness of seeing.

Drawing is feeling. Color is an act of reason.

Painting has to get back to its original goal, examining the inner lives of human beings.

What I am after is the first impression - I want to show all one sees on first entering the room - what my eye takes in at first glance.

It's not a matter of painting life, it's a matter of giving life to painting.

You reason colour more than you reason drawing Colour has a logic as severe as form.

Color does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it.

One, two, three, Im gon be crazy and free.

The Earth, time, concepts, love, life, faith justice, evil - they're all fluid and in transition. They don't stay in one form or in one place forever. The whole universe is like some big FedEx box.

We must take the money out of politics, and end psychopathic, self-destructive government and corporate madness.

Naming celestial objects is usually done by astronomers and professionals. Other people who are interested in space never get the opportunity to do that kind of thing.

I heard how people sounded when their dreams were shattered, when their lives were turned into a waking nightmare.

The beautiful must ever rest in the arms of the sublime. The gentle needs the strong to sustain it, as much as the rock-flowers need rocks to grow on, or the ivy the rugged wall which it embraces.

This time, we went up to Big Bear for 3-4 weeks and sequestered ourselves writing this album [ "The Black Crown"].

There is no greater source of strength and power for me in my life than going still, being quiet and recognizing what real power is.

When the velocity of progress increases beyond a certain point, it becomes indistinguishable from crisis.

We are created for community, fashioned for fellowship, and formed for a family, and none of us can fulfill God's purposes by ourselves.
