Change your thoughts, and you change your world

I see trees of green red roses too I see em bloom for me and for you And I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue clouds of white Bright blessed days dark sacred nights And I think to myself what a wonderful world. The colors of a rainbow so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do They're really saying love you.

The world is filled with folly and sin, And Love must cling, where it can, I say For Beauty is easy enough to win But one isn't loved every day

We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet and amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog has made an alliance with us

Evermore in the world is this marvelous balance of beauty and disgust, magnificence and rats

I stand forth to challenge the wisdom of the world to interrogate the laws of man and of God I request reasons for your golden rule and ask the why and wherefore of your ten commands

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart

To choose art means to turn one's back on the world, or at least on certain of its distractions

The creative act is not performed by the artist alone the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act

The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?
