We turn to stories and pictures and music because they show us who and what and why we are.

It does not matter that we cannot fathom this mystery. The only real problem comes when we think that we have.

Like it or not, we either add to the darkness of indifference and out-and-out evil which surrounds us or we light a candle to see by.

All children are artists, and it is an indictment of our culture that so many of them lose their creativity, their unfettered imaginations, as they grow older.

With our human limitations we're not always able to understand the explanations.

When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown-up we would no longer be vulnerable. But to grow up is to accept vulnerability... To be alive is to be vulnerable.

Great art always transcends its culture, while lesser art merely reflects it.
