Color is life; for a world without color appears to us as dead. Colors are primordial ideas, the children of light.
Johannes IttenOnly those who love color are admitted to its beauty and immanent presence. It affords utility to all, but unveils its deeper mysteries only to its devotees.
Johannes IttenLearning from books and teachers is like traveling by carriage, so we are told in the Veda. But, the carriage will serve only while one is on the highroad. He who reaches the end of the highroad will leave the carriage and walk afoot.
