The temple of art is built in words.

Art used to be made in the name of faith. We made cathedrals, we made stained-glass windows, we made murals.

The artistic part of us all - I think that the easiest way to appreciate this - is through architecture. Architecture is very impressive; the beauty of buildings, temples.
If you're into architecture and you're from the West, everything is hors d'oeuvres for working to rebuild the Temple. Ultimately you're led there. You can't escape it.

Fine art is knowledge made visible.
Art is very tricky because it's what you do for yourself. It's much harder for me to make those works than the monuments or the architecture.

There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.
If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.
