“Why do we sacrifice so much energy to our art?

Not in order to teach others but to learn with them what our existence, our organism, our personal and repeatable experience have to give us; to learn to break down the barriers which surround us and to free ourselves from the breaks which hold us back, from the lies about ourselves which we manufacture daily for ourselves and for others; to destroy the limitations caused by our ignorance or lack of courage; in short, to fill the emptiness in us: to fulfill ourselves...art is a ripening, an evolution, an uplifting which enables us to emerge from darkness into a blaze of light.”
― Jerzy Grotowski

“If you truly love someone, your love sees past their humanness”
― Michael A. Singer, The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself

― Edward De Bono, Think!: Before It's Too Late

“You will always be the bread and the knife, not to mention the crystal goblet and—somehow—the wine.”
― Billy Collins
