When the bright angel dominates, out comes a great work of art, a Michelangelo David or a Beethoven symphony.

I like the fact that in ancient Chinese art the great painters always included a deliberate flaw in their work: human creation is never perfect.

Give the public the 'image' of what it thinks it ought to be, or what television commercials or glossy magazine ads have convinced us we ought to be, and we will buy more of the product, become closer to the image, and further from reality.

We do learn and develop when we are exposed to those who are greater than we are. Perhaps this is the chief way we mature.

Like and equal are two entirely different things.

Come t'e' picciol fallo amaro morso! Dante. What grievous pain a little fault doth give thee!

I'm apt to get drunk on words...Ontology: the word about the essence of things; the word about being.
