My Favorite Quotes

Forget your perfect offerings. Everything has a crack in it. That's how the light gets in. Leonard Cohen

If a woman does not keep pace with her companions, perhaps it is because she does hears a different drummer. Let her step to the music she hears, however measured or far away. (Thoreau, with a Conner twist).

Above all, be the heroine in your life, not the victim. (Nora Ephran)

SEARCHING FOR SILENCE IN A NOISY WORLD...We all have special places we seek to be in quiet, in peace, in silence. Silence makes me feel alive. There are no distractions in silence and it is here that I find what is truly important in life.

Part of the effect of the wilderness is that it takes away all of the usual distractions. In the desert, there's no theology, philosophy, or ideology. You just have to figure it out yourself...(unknown, referring to Spencer's Christ in the Wilderness series of paintings).

Usually, in order to understand any picture of mine, it means taking a seat and preparing to hear the story of my life.
Sir Stanley Spencer, English artist

Our present view of the artist needs to expand from a narrow definition of "one who paints or sculpts" to "one who is in process of self-realization." Judith Cornwell
