Wendy Beckett
“Eccentric and secret genius that he was, Bosch not only moved the heart, but scandalized it into full awareness. The sinister and monstrous things that he brought forth are the hidden creatures of our inward self-love: he externalizes the ugliness within, and so his misshapen demons have an effect beyond curiosity. We feel a hateful kinship with them. The Ship of Fools is not about other people. It is about us.”
Wendy Beckett, The Story of Painting

Darrell Calkins
“If you’re ignoring a high percentage of the elements of your entire being, and the range of qualities they can naturally engage, there will be no real recovery or progress until you do. The typical relentless worker is just as lazy as the typical indulgent idler; they’re both just going through the habitual motions. To break the repetitive pattern, and discover more energy and effectiveness, one simply must stretch out in all directions, rotating focus and application of the qualities that make up one’s natural versatility.”
Darrell Calkins, Re:

Frederick Buechner
“More than the painting you see or the music you hear, the words you read become in the very act of reading them part of who you are, especially if they are the words of exceptionally promising writers. If there is poison in the words, you are poisoned; if there is nourishment, you are nourished; if there is beauty, you are made a little more beautiful. In Hebrew, the word dabar means both word and also deed. A word doesn’t merely say something, it does something. It brings something into being.”
Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking: A Seeker's ABC

Jürgen Moltmann
“If I have a theological virtue, it is curiosity or inquisitiveness.”
Jurgen Moltmann

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
“Proxy religion involves too great a risk: you had better see to your soul's matters yourself, and leave them in no man's hands.”
Spurgeon, Charles H.
