“I think that there's a strong crossover in that Janis, studying the visual arts, was learning how to break it down into details and see how to get the expression that we wanted. And her visual art is emotionally expressive as her singing was. And, I think, when she switched over to singing, she already knew that it was something serious that you broke into pieces so she developed the ability to break it down and learn little riffs that she could throw in here and there.” ThinkingLittlesArtWantedStrongAbilityBreakStudyPiecesSeriousExpressionSingingArt IsDown AndDetailsBrokeVisualsHere And ThereExpressiveVisual ArtCrossover Author:Laura Joplin

“In order to learn true humility (I use this expression to describe the state of mind under discussion), it is good for a person to withdraw from the turmoil of the world (we see that Christ withdrew when the people wanted to proclaim him king as well as when he had to walk the thorny path), for in life either the depressing or the elevating impression is too dominant for a true balance to come about. Here, of course, individuality is very decisive.” PeopleWorldMindWellsPersonsStatesUseWantedOrderCoursesChristWalksPathHumilityExpressionKingsBalanceIndividualityImpressionDiscussionState Of MindDepressingDominantTurmoilElevatingTrue Humility Author:Soren Kierkegaard

“When I was at art school, a lot of art education is about art being a means of self-expression, and as an 18-year-old I didn't know if I had a huge amount I wanted to express.

“I wanted to feel like I could extend someone else's joy and not crush it, and that is the giant paradox nowadays of being a powerful woman: you want to live in a space of compassion and helpfulness and joy and expression, and the world is standing there, pointing the finger at you and telling you that you're greedy and domineering and attention-grabbing, and all you can do is shrug and just say, "Hopefully, someone out there understands and isn't misinterpreting."” WorldWantFeelsWantedJoyCan DoSpacePowerfulAttentionCompassionExpressionStandingFingersHopefullyGiantsCrushParadoxGreedyPointingPowerful WomenStanding ThereGrabbingHelpfulnessPointing Fingers Author:Amanda Palmer
