“What do I want to express? The subject means little. The arrangement, the design, colour, shape, depth, light, space, mood, movement, balance, not one or all of these fills the bill. There is something additional, a breath that draws your breath into its breathing, a heartbeat that pounds on yours, a recognition of the oneness of all things.” WantMeanLittlesLightSpaceSubjectsDesignMovementBalanceShapesDrawsAll ThingsBreathsBillsDepthMoodOnenessRecognitionBreathingColourPoundsArrangementsHeartbeat Book:Hundreds and Thousands: The Journals of Emily Carr Source: Hundreds and Thousands: The Journals of Emily Carr
“By health I mean the power to live a full, adult, living, breathing life in close contact with what I love - the earth and the wonders thereof - the sea - the sun, all that we mean when we speak of the external world. I want to enter into it, to be part of it, to live in it, to learn from it, to lose all that is superficial and acquired in me and to become a conscious, direct human being. I want, by understanding myself, to understand others.” WorldWantHumansMeanEarthSpeakUnderstandingLosesHuman BeingsWonderSunSeaConsciousAdultsDirectContactBreathingSuperficialBreathing LifeUnderstanding Myself Book:Stories.
