I heard many discourses which were good for the soul, but I could not discover in the case of any one of the teachers that his life was worthy of his words Picture Quote #1

Most artists are brought to their vocation when their own nascent gifts are awakened by the work of a master. That is to say, most artists are converted to art by art itself. Finding one’s voice isn’t just an emptying and purifying oneself of the words of others but an adopting and embracing of filiations, communities, and discourses. Inspiration could be called inhaling the memory of an act never experienced. Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void but out of chaos. Any artist knows these truths, no matter how deeply he or she submerges that knowing Picture Quote #1

Contention is inseparable from creating knowledge. It is not contention we should try to avoid, but discourses that attempt to suppress contention Picture Quote #1

Pulpit discourses have insensibly dwindled from speaking to reading; a practice of itself sufficient to stifle every germ of eloquence Picture Quote #1
