To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.
From John Ruskin

Art is not a study of positive reality, it is the seeking for ideal truth.
No lying knight or lying priest ever prospered in any age, but especially not in the dark ones. Men prospered then only in following an openly declared purpose, and preaching candidly beloved and trusted creeds.
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder.
It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately.
