John Fowles
“We talked for hours. He talked and I listened.
It was like wind and sunlight. It blew all the cobwebs away.”
John Fowles

Charles Bukowski
“people run from rain but
sit
in bathtubs full of
water.”
Charles Bukowski, The Roominghouse Madrigals: Early Selected Poems, 1946-1966

Carl Sagan
“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic."

[Cosmos, Part 11: The Persistence of Memory (1980)]”
Carl Sagan, Cosmos

Bert Dodson
“I believe that most of us, students and artists alike, ought to concern ourselves less with what we think is the right way to draw and more with letting our feelings flow through our hand. In this way, we stretch our dynamic nature. Our larger goal should be to draw in a way that expresses our vision.”
Bert Dodson, Keys to Drawing

Bert Dodson
“Art actually happens somewhere in the space between clarity and ambiguity, concept and intuition, thought and feeling.”
Bert Dodson, Keys to Drawing
