“Art on the contrary sought this harmony in practice [of art itself]. More and more in its creations it has given inwardness to that what surrounds us in nature, until, in Neo-Plasticism, nature is no longer dominant. This achievement of balance may prepare the way for the fulfillment of man and signal the end of (what we call) art.” MenWayMayArtEndsGivenPracticeCreationBalanceAchievementHarmonyContrarySurroundDominantSignalsFulfilment Author:Piet Mondrian
“You are meant to think before you speak. How many times is your heart involved in what you are doing? Every act should be a spiritual one involving your total being - soul, mind and body - done for the sake of the doing, given for the sake of the giving, worked for the sake of the working, not for the sake of what you can get out of it. The more you do this, uniting all the aspects of your being, the more you will create harmony, balance and peace.” ThinkingGivingShouldMindHeartSoulDoneBodySpiritualSpeakGivenBalanceInvolvedAspectHarmonySakeMind And BodyInvolvingUnitingThink Before You Speak Author:Jack Schwarz

“Archery, fencing, spear fighting, all of the martial arts, tea ceremony, flower arranging...in all of these, correct breathing, correct balance, and correct stillness help to remake the individual. The basic aim is always the same: by tirelessly practicing a given skill, the student finally sheds the ego with its fears, worldly ambitions, and reliance on objective scrutiny - sheds it so completely that he becomes the instrument of a deeper power, from which mastery falls instinctively, without further effort on his part, like a ripe fruit.” ArtHelpingFallFightingIndividualGivenEffortStudentsFlowerBalanceSkillsEgoAmbitionAimInstrumentsFruitDeeperObjectivesTeaBreathingMartial ArtsStillnessMasteryShedWorldlyCeremonyRelianceRipeScrutinyRemakesSpearsArrangingArcheryFencingRipe FruitTea Ceremony Author:Karlfried Graf Durckheim

“It also helps that what Dan Slott is doing with Peter Parker in the comics has elevated him to something else, so that Miles Morales at the moment is the more traditional Spider-Man figure in the universe: the high school student trying to balance high school and superheroics, and he can't catch a break.
