    to the small things hardly noticeable, those things
    can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.”

    — Vincent Van Gogh, to his brother, Theo,

    . . . I want to reach so far that people will
    say of my work: he feels deeply, he feels
    tenderly — notwithstanding my so-called
    roughness, perhaps even because of this . . .
    It is true that I am often in the greatest
    misery, but still there is within me a
    calm pure harmony and music.

      "This is what I believe: That I am I. That my soul is a dark forest. That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest. That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back. That I must have the courage to let them come and go. That I will never let mankind put anything over me, but that I will try always to recognize and submit to the gods in me and the gods in other men and women. There is my creed."

      D.H. Lawrence

        That quote got me through so many shy experiences. It probably even changed my life.

        ...To think that one of the most profound pieces of philosophy in my life would come from a band called the Butthole Surfers....

        Heh!

        (Although I must note that I actually heard it as a sample in an Orbital track and didn't know its true origin until just recently.)

      There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action
      and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.
      And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost.
      The world will not have it.

      It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable it is nor how it compares with other expressions.
      It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.
      You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.
      You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you.
      Keep the channel open.

      No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time.
      There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than others.
