Art
Quotes for August 20
|
My
whole life has been spent walking by
the side of a bottomless chasm, jumping
from stone to stone. Somtimes I try
to
leave my narrow path and join the
swirling mainstream of life, but I always
find myself drawn inexorably back towards
the chasm's edge, and there I shall
walk
until the day I finally fall into the
abyss.
For as long as I can remember I have
suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety
which I have tried to express in my
art.
Without anxiety and illness I should
have been like a ship without a rudder.
::: Edvard
Munch ::: |

Reed :::
Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces
impossible monsters; united with it,
she is the mother of the arts and the
origin of marvels.
::: Francisco
Goya ::: |

the cattle on the range look pretty
much alike.

we build end up building us.

which will later enable him to express
himself in his own language.

time zone. I want to visit strange,
exotic malls...I want to live, Marge!
Won't you let me live?
