"But after all I find in my work an echo of what struck me. I see that nature has told me something, has spoken to me, and that I have put it down in shorthand. In my shorthand there may be words that cannot be deciphered, there may be mistakes or gaps, but there is something in it of what wood or shore or figure has told me, and it is not a tame or conventional language, proceeding less from nature itself than from a studied manner or system."

-The Letters of Vincent van Gogh

"The world was so recent that many things lacked names, and in order to indicate them it was necessary to point."
- Gabriel Garcia Marquez - 'One Hundred Years of Solitude'

In human life, art may arise from almost any activity, and once it does so, it is launched on a long road of exploration, invention, freedom to the limits of extravagance, interference to the point of frustration, finally discipline, controlling constant change and growth.
- Susanne Langer
