Life is either a daring
adventure or nothing.
Security does not exist in nature,
nor do the children of humanity as a whole experience it.
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.

Twenty years from now
you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do
than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.

So many people live within
unhappy circumstances
and yet will not take the initiative
to change their situation because they are conditioned
to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism,
all of which may appear to give one peace of mind,
but in reality nothing is more dangerous
to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.
The very basic core of a one's living spirit is their passion for adventure.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence
there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon,
for each day to have a new and different Sun.
~ Christopher McCandless

Art is simply a result of
expression during right feeling.
It's a result of a grip on the fundamentals of nature,
the spirit of life, the constructive force, the secret of growth,
a real understanding of the relative importance of things, order, balance.
Any material will do. After all, the object is not to make art,
but to be in the wonderful state which makes art inevitable.
~ Robert Henri in The Art Spirit

The primary distinction of
the artist
is that they must actively cultivate that state
which most people, necessarily, must avoid:
the state of being alone.

Here are worlds of
experience
beyond the world of aggressive man,
beyond history, beyond science.
The mood and qualities of nature and
the relations of great art
are difficult to define; we can grasp them
only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.

The secret of the creative
life
is often to feel at ease with your own embarrassment.
We are paid to take risks, to look silly.
Some people, like racing car drivers
are paid to take risks in a more concrete way.
We are paid to take risks in an emotional way.
The film critic is like a medical examiner.
He gets the cadaver on the table, he opens it up,
and tries to figure out why it died.
The filmmaker is like the pregnant mother
who is simply trying nurture this thing.
You have to keep the medical examiner
out of the delivery room because he will get in there
and he will kill that baby.
~ Paul Schrader, interviewed by Terry Gross,
Fresh Air (from Heron Dance)

Anyhow, all work that is
worth while
has got to be memory work.
Even with a model before you in the quiet light of a studio
there must come a time when you have
what you want to know from the model,
when the model had better be sitting behind you than before,
and unless such a time as this does come,
it is not likely the work will get below the surface.
It would be easy to divide artists into two classes:
those who grow so much within themselves
as to master technique by the force of their need,
and those who are mastered by technique and become stylists.

… he wrote that his daily
stint of painting
brought everything into balance and harmony.
…Harlan thought that a painting, to be good,
must be done with dash and abandonment,
even one which has meticulous detail.
If one niggles over it, the result is dull and lifeless.
…I have so little skill and handle my tools and materials
in a fumbling way, yet in painting, even in playing the violin,
I sometimes strike deep, and the technique
seems as honest and handmade.
~ Wendell Berry, from Harlan Hubbard,

A world without wonder,
and a way of mind without wonder,
becomes a world without imagination,
and without imagination humanity is a poor
and stunted creature.
Religion, poetry, and all the arts
have their sources in this upwelling
of wonder and surprise.
Let us thank God that so much will forever
remain out of reach, safe from our inquiry,
inviolate forever from our touch.
