Auguste Rodin

Imagination can't create anything new, can it? It only recycles bits and pieces from the world and reassembles them into visions...

Nothing unknown is knowable.

Errors and exaggerations do not matter. What matters is boldness in thinking with a strong-pitched voice, in speaking out about things as one feels them in the moment of speaking; in having the temerity to proclaim what one believes to be true without fear of the consequences.

Jose Clemente Orozco
