Ask me something

Not a dogmatist, I follow morality as a choice, not as a church. It's called existentialism. I believe I will walk through life believing everyone is wrong. At least I recognize that. Let's work from there. Enough about me; this blog is dedicated to art I find inspiring, people I find interesting, and quotes I find, well, quoteworthy.

"Depart not from nature according to your fancy. Imagining to find aught, better by yourself' For verily 'art' is embedded in nature; he who can extract it, has it." —Albrecht Dürer

"Perhaps death is not the hardest thing in a painter's life ... [L]ooking at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots representing towns and villages on a map. Why, I ask myself, shouldn't the shining dots of the sky be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France? Just as we take the train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star." —Vincent van Gogh

“All acquisition of knowledge is an enlargement of the Self, but this enlargement is best attained when it is not directly sought. It is obtained when the desire for knowledge is alone operative, by a study which does not which in advance that its objects should have this or that character, but adapts the Self to the characters which it finds in its objects.” —Bertrand Russel
