灵魂
The only obsession everyone wants: ‘love.’ People think that in falling in love they make themselves whole? The Platonic union of souls? I think otherwise. I think you’re whole before you begin. And the love fractures you. You’re whole, and then you’re cracked open.
Literature isn’t a moral beauty contest. Its power arises from the authority of a voice, not the purity of a soul.
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.
"In painting, the hand must follow the eye, and the eye must follow the soul."
"My paintings are my children, each with its own soul."
"Art is the reflection of the soul of a nation."
"Technique is important, but it should never overshadow the soul of the work."
You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.
Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
The soul needs only one thing: to do what the body is doing.
The purpose of art is to make the soul visible.
Love and art are the two wings that lift the soul to heaven.
The soul of a poet is like a mirror that reflects the beauty of the world.
The sea is a mirror that reflects the soul of those who gaze upon it.
The sun is the soul of the universe, and the earth is its body.
The soul is a fire that must be fed with beauty.
