“The past is a springboard for me….Ancient things are new things. Everything lives in the moment; that’s the only time it can live, but its influence can go on forever.”
― Cy Twombly

“It was a lovely night, one of those nights, dear reader, which can only happen when you are young. The sky was so bright and starry that when you looked at it the first question that came into your mind was whether it was really possible that all sorts of bad-tempered and unstable people could live under such a glorious sky. It is a question, dear reader, that would occur only to a young person, but may the good Lord put it into your head as often as possible!..”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky

“Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.”
― Meister Eckhart
