“If a painting contains no abstraction nor impressionistic elements, it is a kite that will never fly. But if the painting completely breaks the connection between human feeling and the object portrayed, the kite string has been broken. I try to keep the line unbroken.” IfsTryingHumansHas BeensFeelingsLinesBreakObjectsPaintingBrokenElementsConnectionsStringsAbstractionUnbrokenKites Author:Wu Guanzhong
“My friends: Music is the language of spirits. Its melody is like the frolicsome breeze that makes the strings quiver with love. When the gentle fingers of Music knock at the door of our feelings, they awaken memories that have long lain hidden in the depths of the Past. The sad strains of Music bring us mournful recollections; and her quiet strains bring us joyful memories. The sound of strings makes us weep at the departure of a dear one, or makes us smile at the peace God has bestowed upon us.” LongFeelingsPastSpiritLanguageSoundMemoriesDoorsQuietMusic IsMy FriendsFingersDepthDearGentleStringsMelodyJoyfulStrainBreezeRecollectionDepartureQuiverDear OnesCreating Beauty Author:Khalil Gibran
“There is a string attached to Maia Sharp's voice. And when she sings, you find that the other end is attached to your gut. Her voice is lush and sensual and the emotions she articulates resonate with the small feelings we have that sometimes are hard to face..there is an edge to her songs, but also a softness...she is lyrical and conversational at the same time. Her CD was the only one in my machine for a month. Her work inspires me to dig deeper.” EndsSometimesHardFeelingsFacesSongVoiceEmotionInspireMonthsMachinesEdgesDeeperSensualGutsStringsCdsLyricalSoftnessDig DeepLushStrings Attached Author:Kathy Mattea
“Loyalty to God is alone fundamental. Feelings, words, deeds, must be beads strung on the string of duty. Let the world tell you in a hundred ways what your life is for. Say you ever and only, "Lo, I come to do Thy will, O my God." Out of that dutiful root grows the beautiful life, the life radically and radiantly true to God--the only life that can be lived in both worlds.” WorldWayFeelingsBeautifulLife IsGrowsDutyHundredRootsFundamentalsDeedsLoyaltyStringsBeautiful LifeBeads Book:Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock Source: Thoughts for Every-day Living from the Spoken and Written Words of Maltbie Davenport Babcock
