“All outward success, when it has value, is but the inevitable result of an inward success of full living, full play and enjoyment of one’s faculties.”

The Art Spirit, Robert Henri

“I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.”

Georgia O’Keeffe

“Most of us need balance in the large issues of our lives, things like landscape, architecture, diet and relationships. Perhaps we look to art and design in the same way we enjoy a roller coaster ride—an opportunity to temporarily suspend our sense of balance in a controlled situation. We know the ride will end, and we know we can turn away from the painting if the lack of stability becomes threatening.”

Design Language, Tim McCreight
