A piece of art is a compact form of the universe.
High culture is paranoid about sentiment. But human beings are intensely sentimental.
The more you give yourself to others, the more joy and peace will flow into your own life.
I view art as an inspirational tool.
My joy burns brighter when I tend to the glowing hearth fires of home.
Beautiful objects, ideas, even beautiful people all share the power to lift the spirits and motivate creativity while at the same time soothing the soul.
