“The only way a work of art can become great is for one to acknowledge that it doesn't belong to anybody. The greatness is in constantly giving back, coming to an acknowledgment of the source. Look back to the source of any individual, any process, any set of materials. If the individual personality can relinquish its insistence on concepts like this is mine, I did it, this is original, nobody else has done it, it goes straight for greatness or the essential spirit.” IfsWayGivingLooksArtDoneSpiritIndividualProcessGreatnessMinesMaterialsSourcePersonalityEssentialsConceptsOriginalsPhotographerAcknowledgeWorks Of ArtGiving BackInsistenceAcknowledgmentIndividual Personality Author:Paul Caponigro

“One of the most revolutionary concepts to grow out of our clinical experience is the growing recognition that innermost core of man's nature - the deepest layers of his personality, the base of his 'animal nature' - is basically socialized, forward-moving, rational and realistic... He is realistically able to control himself, and he is incorrigibly socialized in his desires.
