Kakuzō Okakura
“Perfection is everywhere if we only choose to recognise it.”
Kakuzō Okakura, The Book of Tea

Bruce Lee
“...we have more faith in what we imitate than in what we originate. We cannot derive a sense of absolute certitude from anything which has its roots in us. The most poignant sense of insecurity comes from standing alone and we are not alone when we imitate. It is thus with most of us; we are what other people say we are. We know ourselves chiefly by hearsay.”
Bruce Lee, Tao of Jeet Kune Do

“For colour is one of the most rapturous truths that can be revealed to man.”
Harold Speed, Oil Painting Techniques and Materials

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
“The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.”
Henry Wadworth Longfellow

James Joyce
“I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.”
James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
