beauty beautiful dark
Beauty is as relative as light and dark. Thus, there exists no beautiful woman, none at all, because you are never certain that a still far more beautiful woman will not appear and completely shame the supposed beauty of the first.
birthday children artistic-ability
Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.
errors genius
Genius is the error in the system.
essentials chance
Make chance essential.
intuition good-things stills
We construct and keep on constructing, yet intuition is still a good thing.
matter hypothesis minutes
I must begin, not with hypothesis, but with specific instances, no matter how minute.
circles light oval
Light and the rational forms are locked in combat; light sets them into motion, bends what is straight, makes parallels oval, inscribes circles in the intervals, makes the intervals active.
beauty beautiful numbers
To emphasize only the beautiful seems to me to be like a mathematical system that only concerns itself with positive numbers.
self play light
Each energy calls for its complementary energy to achieve self-contained stability based on the play of energies.
drawing stills closest
I still come closest to success with drawing.
knowing-nothing drawing work-out
I want to be as though new-born, knowing nothing, absolutely nothing... then I want to do something modest; to work out by myself a tiny, formal motive, one that my pencil will be able to hold without technique.
self drawing lines
In the final analysis, a drawing simply is no longer a drawing, no matter how self-sufficient its execution may be. It is a symbol, and the more profoundly the imaginary lines of projection meet higher dimensions, the better.
intuition substitutes
There is no substitute for intuition.
hands instruments ripe-fruit
My hand has become the obedient instrument of a remote will.
