VIRGINIA WOOLF ~ WE LOVE EACH OTHER

in The words that make sense... brilliant writings by writers... by

He was silent for a moment. Silence seemed to have fallen upon the world. “That is what I have felt since I knew you” he replied. “We are happy together”. He did not seem to be speaking, or she to be hearing. “Very happy”, she answered. They continued to walk for some time in silence. Their steps unconsciously quickened. “We love each other”, he said. “We love each other”, she repeated. The silence was then broken by their voices which joined in tones of strange unfamiliar sound which formed no words. Faster and faster they walked; simultaneously they stopped, clasped each other in their arms, then releasing themselves, dropped to the earth.  “We love each other” he repeated, searching into her face. Their faces were both very pale and quiet, and they said nothing.

The Voyage Out (1915), Virginia Woolf

HERMANN HESSE ~ REALITY

in Art & the Unconscious Mind/The words that make sense... brilliant writings by writers... by

There’s no reality except the one contained within us. That’s why so many people live an unreal life. They take images outside them for reality and never allow the world within them to assert itself.”

GEORGE BRASSAI ~ THE NEED OF PASSION

in Art & the Unconscious Mind/Passion Of Art by

GOGOL ~ PASSION OR HABIT?

in The words that make sense... brilliant writings by writers... by

“What is stronger in us — passion or habit? Or are all the violent impulses, all the whirl of our desires and turbulent passions, only the consequence of our ardent age, and is it only through youth that they seem deep and shattering?”

Nicolai Gogol

PABLO PICASSO ~ WHAT IS AN ARTIST?

in Passion Of Art by

29th September 1955:  Spanish painter Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973)

What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only his eyes if he is a painter, or his ears if he is a musician? …On the contrary, he is at the same time a political being, constantly on the alert to the heart-rending, burning, or happy events in the world, molding himself in their likeness.

Pablo Picasso
