“I want to emphasize the fact that we all have the same experience and the same concern, but the artist must know exactly what the experience is. He must pursue the truth relentlessly. Once he sees this fact his feet are on the path. If you want to know the truth you will know it. The manipulation of materials in an artwork is a result of this state of mind. The artist works by awareness of his own state of mind.” IfsKnowsWantMindStatesFactsArtistResultsPathFeetAwarenessMaterialsConcernPursueManipulationState Of MindArtwork Author:Agnes Martin
“The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you.

“At last the cold crept up my spine; at last it filled me from foot to head; at last I grew so chill and desolate that all thought and pain and awareness came to a standstill. I wasn't miserable anymore: I wasn't anything at all. I was a nothing-- a random configuration of molecules. If my heart still beat I didn't know it. I was aware of one thing only; next to the gaping fact called Death, all I knew was nothing, all I did meant nothing, all I felt conveyed nothing. This was no passing thought. It was a gnawing, palpable emptiness more real than the cold.” IfsKnowsHeartStillsRealFactsPainLastsNextFeltOne ThingFeetAwarenessGrewColdMy HeartBeatsFilledPassingPassingsMiserableEmptinessChillSpineMoleculesDesolateConfigurationStandstill Author:David James Duncan
“At the stair-foot Hephaistion was waiting. He happened to be there, as he happened to have a ball handy if Alexander wanted a game, or water if he was thirsty; not by calculation, but in a constant awareness by which no smallest trifle was missed. Now, when he came down the stairs with a shut mouth and blue lines under his eyes, Hephaistion received some mute signal he understood, and fell into step beside him.” IfsEyeWantedGamesWaitingWaterLinesStepsHappenedFeetAwarenessMouthsUnderstoodBallsBlueConstantHis EyesSmallestSignalsStairsCalculationsTriflesThirstyMuteHandy Author:Mary Renault
