Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

You are good when you are one with yourself. Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil. For a divided house is not a den of thieves; it is only a divided house. And a ship without rudder may wander aimlessly among perilous isles yet sink not to the bottom.

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.
