G.K. Chesterton
“Every true artist does feel consciously or unconsciously that he is touching transcendental truths, shadows of things seen through the veil.
In other words, the natural mystic does know that there is something there, something behind the clouds, or within the trees.
But he believes that the pursuit of beauty is how to find it and that imagination is a sort of incantation that can call it up.”
G.K. Chesterton

Milan Kundera
“Today history is no more than a thin thread of the remembered stretching over an ocean of the forgotten, but time moves on, and an epoch of millennia will come which the inextensible memory of the individual will be unable to encompass; whole centuries and millennia will therefore fall away, centuries of paintings and music, centuries of discoveries, of battles, of books, and this will be dire, because man will lose the notion of his self, and his history, unfathomable, unencompassable, will shrivel into a few schematic signs destitute of all sense.”
Milan Kundera, The Joke

José Saramago
“Today's bread does not eliminate yesterday's hunger, much less that of tomorrow.”
José Saramago, Baltasar and Blimunda

Andrei Tarkovsky
“I have always liked people who can't adapt themselves to life pragmatically.”
Andrei Tarkovsky, Sculpting in Time

Walt Whitman
“re-examine all you have been told in school or church or in any book, and dismiss whatever insults your own soul; and your very flesh shall be a great poem, and have the richest fluency, not only in its words, but in the silent lines of its lips and face, and between the lashes of your eyes, and in every motion and joint of your body.

[From the preface to Leaves Grass]”
Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass
