Quotes you like relating to expression, artistry, musicianship, life...?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
John Cage:
"I was invited to a musician's house one evening and during the course of dinner I asked to be excused so as to use the restroom. In a stunning display of sagacity and beneficience, my hosts complied.
Upon entering said lavatory I saw a rusted old brass birdcage containing no birds, plants, or seeds, but instead a photocopied picture of an outhouse.
Naturally, I found this sight quite curious. I later asked him about it.
He said nonchalantly,
"Oh, that's my John Cage."
I didn't stop laughing for a very long time."

"Begin, the rest is easy" Confucius

Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?
::: Pablo Picasso :::
By nature I am curious about life, and this extends to my business.
::: Richard Branson :::
Lack of clarity is probably more responsible for frustration and underachievement than any other single factor.
::: Brian Tracy :::
I'm not looking for images, They just appear and take on an interest. Sometimes you look at a thing and it has no interest and then you see it in a different way and it has another meaning. Or something that was of no use will become useful.
::: Jasper Johns :::
You have to systematically create confusion, it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life.
::: Salvador Dali :::
One has the advantage when you're very young that you've nothing to lose. Later on things become a burden, I think your past work sometimes becomes a burden.
::: David Hockney :::
My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece.
::: Claude Monet ::: | |

But nagrom, those are great quotes... very inspiring. Thank you.

Roshi said: ""The Poet makes himself a seer by a long, immense and systematic derangement of all the senses."
- Rimbaud"
ive never understood that quote. are you really meant to derange all your senses?
How do you derange your sense of smell?
Imagine if your nose was "deranged". that would be weird.

Hmm...I've always heard it as "derangement of the senses"...as in you're screwing up your wiring, taking sensory input and twisting it into something else completely. Like impressionism. But cooler.
LOL...nose derangement. "I smell  but I know it's just flowers."
