Art Thoughts of MooreZart

[moorezart]

“The imagination is not a state. It is the human existence itself.”

[moorezart]

“Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.”

[moorezart]

“Art is just a container you pour yourself into.”

[moorezart]

“The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.”

[moorezart]

“I confess I do not believe in time … And the highest enjoyment of timelessness – in a landscape selected at random – is when I stand among rare butterflies and their food plants. This is ecstasy, and behind the ecstasy is something else, which is hard to explain. It is like a momentary vacuum into which rushes all that I love.”

[moorezart]

“If you want to know what’s really going on in a society or ideology follow the money. If money is flowing to advertising instead of musicians, journalists, and artists, then society is more concerned with manipulation than truth or beauty…”

[moorezart]

”Art transcends all human boundaries. It is a gift of almost inexplicable, magical energy. When our hearts, through our senses, are touched by art, our lives are enhanced.”

[moorezart]

“Our full humanity is contingent on our hospitality; we can be complete only when we…”

[moorezart]

“Inspiration is not the exclusive privilege of poets or artists. There is, there has been, there will always be a certain group of people whom inspiration visits…”

[moorezart]

In Memory: “Passion and the desire to communicate, that is the key.”

[moorezart]

“Beautiful things don’t ask for attention”

[moorezart]

“Life is it’s own answer… Live as well as possible. Expect no more. Destroy nothing. Humble nothing. Look for fault in nothing. Leave unsullied and untouched all that is beautiful.‘

[moorezart]

”From my viewpoint, the value of the worn paperback with your initial impressions in the margins of a book you love is far more valuable than the first edition with the good dust jacket.”

[moorezart]

In Memory: “Have a go. Anybody can do it.”

[moorezart]

“None of us are free, if one of us is chained”, “If you don’t say it’s wrong then that says it right”

[moorezart]

”All art is an act of faith — a faith that life itself, with all its tragedies and flaws, can be improved by creating something new and putting it out into the world.”

[moorezart]

“I couldn’t be happier than when I am standing out on a cold winter morning waiting for the right light.”
