You can't really appreciate a work of art until you can understand how difficult it was to create. And that's probably true of any work of art - a rock, a tree, a bird, a fish, a sunrise made of light and air.

There is no such thing as failure for an artist, unless failure is the refusal to attempt, the unwillingness to dream.

The age of selfishness and greed is over. The age of kindness and generosity is underway.

Those who refuse to look at or give expression to the dark side of life are in denial-fear preventing passage through the door of growth, truth and, ultimately, wisdom.

The people who change the world never lose hope no matter how bleak the outcome might appear to be.

Life is inherently disturbing. That's why we've created the myths-to help us overcome, defend or deny, to transcend the grim reality of what here seems to be.

Recognizing your own ignorance is the first step toward wisdom.
