“[The artist] speaks to our capacity for delight and wonder, to the sense of mystery surrounding our lives; to our sense of pity, and beauty, and pain; to the latent feeling of fellowship with all creation--and to the subtle but invincible conviction of solidarity in dreams, in joy, in sorrow, in aspirations, in illusions, in hope, in fear which binds together all humanity--the dead to the living and the living to the unborn.” ArtFeelingsDreamPainTogetherJoyArtistHumanitySpeakWonderCreativityOur LivesMysteryCreationSorrowIllusionCapacityDelightConvictionPityAspirationSubtleSolidarityFellowshipInvincibleUnbornLatentCreating Beauty Book:The Portable Conrad Source: The Portable Conrad

“I think that one of the many advantages of death accruing over a long period of time is that you do have time to meet a lot of other people who are going through similar situations and one of the great delights of our life actually was sitting around in labs waiting for the results of tests and talking to other people who were waiting to find out whether their cancer numbers were going in the right direction or not.” PeopleThinkingLongWaitingResultsNumbersTalkingSituationOur LivesPeriodsSittingAdvantageTestsCancerDelightLabsRight DirectionSitting AroundLong Periods Of Time Author:Kay Redfield Jamison
