Divorce

Divorce teaches you things. Like fractions.

— Buzz Nutley

Beuys

„Meine Kunst ist Befreiungspolitik.“

— Joseph Beuys

Worldly Cares

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful implanted in the human soul.

— Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Poetry

....Poetry heals the wounds given to us by Reason....

— Novalis

Writing

No one is asking, let alone demanding, that you write. The world is not waiting with bated breath for your article or book. Whether or not you get a single word on paper, the sun will rise, the earth will spin, the universe will expand. Writing is forever and always a choice - your choice.

— Beth Mende Conny

Old age is more like a semicolon.

When Hemingway killed himself he put a period at the end of his life. Old age is more like a semicolon

— Kurt Vonnegut

An Artist

An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.

— Charles Bukowski

Der Maler

"Maler sein ist kein Beruf, ebensowenig wie Anarchist, Liebender, Läufer, Träumer oder Boxer."

— Maurice de Vlaminck

Digital Art

Ender, Pier, 2007, C-print 90x50 cm

Digital art is highly popular. But digital art is also modern art. Picasso said "Why must i painting realistic, when the still camera exist." Digital camera is also a medium for modern artist. Today is easy to make a art, but is not easy to be a Artist. Digital camera relieved many operations but make you not a Artist. The gallery owners are business people and today is economy uninviting, what not makes to easy for a autodidact. But the digital camera makes anything to easy and makes afresh not easy to work as a Artist.

rolling in ecstasy

you do not even have to leave your room.
remain sitting at your table and listen,
do not even listen, just wait.
do not even wait, be still and solitary.
the world will freely offer itself to you unasked.
it has no choice.
it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

— franz kafka

Goodness

"You do not become by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you and allowing that goodness to emerge"

— Eckhart Tolle in A New Earth Awakening to Your Life's Purpose

I Saw the Angel

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.

— Michelangelo

Creative Minds

" The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off...They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating."

— Pearl Buck
US novelist in China (1892 - 1973)

Only a Fool

We do not give up what we love
We give up what we don't love

— unknown

Mastering the Art of Life

"A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labour and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both."

— Francois Auguste Rene Chateaubriand
