Beauty Is The Experience That Gives Us

Those We Call Saints Rebelled Against An Outmoded And Inadequate Form Of God On The Basis Of Their New Insights Into Divinity.

All People Are Struggling To Be Creative In Some Way, And The Artist Is The One Who Has Succeeded In This Task Of Life.

Courage Is Not The Absence Of Despair; It Is, Rather, The Capacity To Move Ahead In Spite Of Despair.

Creative People... Are Distinguished By The Fact That They Can Live With Anxiety, Even Though A High Price May Be Paid In Terms Of Insecurity, Sensitivity, And Defenselessness For The Gift Of 'divine Madness,' To Borrow The Term Used By The Classical Greeks.

Courage Is Not A Virtue Of Value Among Other Personal Values Like Love Or Fidelity. It Is The Foundation That Underlies And Gives Reality To All Other Virtues And Personal Values. Without Courage Our Love Pales Into Mere Dependency. Without Courage Our Fidelity Becomes Conformism.
