“Under this fine rain I breathe in the innocence of the world. I feel coloured by the nuances of infinity. At this moment I am one with my picture. We are an iridescent chaos.” WorldFeelsMomentsFineRainChaosBreatheInnocenceInfinityNuanceIridescent Author:Paul Cezanne
“No one escapes that moment of innocence when the world attacks him and installs within him the spirit of opposites... As long as everything within you is saying yes and no, dark and light, with big earth-shaking ideas, you come nowhere near art, I think. Light and dark don't exist for us as artists. Light is something given to you and you're allowing it to pass through.” ThinkingWorldLongArtIdeasMomentsBigsLightEarthSpiritArtistGivenDarkOppositesInnocenceThat MomentAllowingWithin YouShakingLight And DarkSaying YesYes And No Author:Milton Resnick
“What I call innocence is the spirit's unself-conscious state at any moment of pure devotion to any object. It is at once a receptiveness and total concentration.” StatesMomentsSpiritObjectsPureConsciousDevotionInnocenceConcentration Book:PILGRIM AT TINKER CREEK Source: PILGRIM AT TINKER CREEK
“Coerced innocence is like an imprisoned lark,--open the door, and it is off forever. The bird that roams through the sky and the groves unrestrained knows how to dodge the hawk and protect itself; but the caged one, the moment it leaves its bars and bolts behind, is pounced upon by the fowler or the vulture.” KnowsMomentsBehindsKnow HowForeverDoorsSkyProtectBirdBarsInnocenceBoltsHawksGroveCagedDodgeLarksVulture Author:Thomas Chandler Haliburton
