Jackson Pollack once said that artists create, as "a natural growth out of a need," … “[w]hen I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. … the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through."[iv] Wassily Kandinsky noted, "The true work of art is born from the ‘artist': a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation. It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being."[v]
To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan, and not quite enough time. - Leonard Bernstein
As soon as somebody demonstrates the art of flying, settlers from our species of man will not be lacking [on the moon and Jupiter]... Given ships or sails adapted to the breezes of heaven, there will be those who will not shrink from even that vast expanse."
Johannes Kepler
