It's one thing to make a beautiful thing; it's another thing to make a living thing.

Looking and seeing are two different things.

Many oriental cultures make a distinction between two ways of looking - 'hard eyes' and 'soft eyes'. When we look with hard eyes, we see specific details with sharp focus, but we don't see the relationships between different details as well. When we look with soft eyes we see the relationships between everything in our field of vision, but with this softer focus, we don't see all the details as clearly. It's possible to look in two ways at once.

Education, or enrichment, is a dynamic, evolving, lifelong process. Every time you look, sensitively with awareness, your vision grows.

Inquiry is more important than answers, for it is the questions we ask and the way in which we ask them that defines us.

Through the experience of art, the powers of perception and transformation can be awakened, in both those who create it and those who re-perceive it.
