Prabhavananda
“The little space within the heart is as great as the vast universe.
The heavens and the earth are there, and the sun and the moon and the stars. Fire and lightening and winds are there, and all that now is and all that is not.”
Swami Prabhavananda, The Upanishads: Breath from the Eternal

“As there was no further precaution possible I enjoyed the extraordinary magnificence of the storm with a free mind . . . and all the wonderful and terrible things that happen in high places .”
Georgina Howell, Gertrude Bell: Queen of the Desert, Shaper of Nations

“If there is a main problem in American art today,” says critic Tom Piazza, “it is not that we need the new to unshackle us from a suffocating and outmoded tradition. The new is constantly pumped out, by the ton and 24 hours a day, into the esthetic rivers, reservoirs and gullies of our culture, and nobody needs to go looking for it. With all the economic force of corporate profit and advertising behind it, pop culture, with its Billy the Kid ethos, has in fact become the new establishment. In a truly Orwellian irony, the new is the status quo.”36”
James Bau Graves, Cultural Democracy: The Arts, Community, and the Public Purpose

John Donne
“Yet nothing can to nothing fall,
Nor any place be empty quite;
Therefore I think my breast hath all
Those pieces still, though they be not unite;
And now, as broken glasses show
A hundred lesser faces, so
My rags of heart can like, wish, and adore,
But after one such love, can love no more.”
John Donne, The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose

“When things are as bad as ever they can be you cease to mind them much. You set your teeth and battle with the fates”
Georgina Howell, Gertrude Bell: Queen of the Desert, Shaper of Nations
