Pearls of Wisdom



Thoughts I Love to Share with You

The real voyage of discovery lies not in finding new lands, but in seeing with new eyes.

Marcel Proust

 

I lost my world, my fame, my mind
The sun appeared and all the shadows ran.
I ran after them but vanished as I ran
Light ran after me and hunted me down.

Rumi

 

When design impacts performance
Performance returns the favor.

 

 

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

Thomas Merton

 

Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.

Robert Bresson

 

Art is best when it forgets its name.

Jean Dufe

 

The fact that our task is exactly as large as our life makes it appear infinite.

Franz Kafka

 

Creativity takes courage.

Henri Matisse

 

If you want something, release the wish
And let it light on its desire.

Rumi

 

How can the heart in love ever stop opening?

Rumi

 

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens
Can change the world, indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

Margaret Mead

 

One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for it.

Henry Moore

 

Luck is the residue of hard work.

Ben Hogan

 

The soul should always stand ajar,
Ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

Emily Dickinson

 

The most beautiful and deepest experience a man can have is the sense of the mysterious. It is the underlying principle of religion as well as of all serious endeavour in art and science. He who never had this experience seems to me, if not dead, then at least blind.

Albert Einstein

 

We don’t see things as they are;
We see them as we are.

Anais Nin
