"It is above all by the imagination that we achieve perception and compassion and hope." ― Ursula K. Le Guin Topic(s): Art More From Ursula K. Le Guin "We are volcanoes. When we women offer our experience as our truth, as human truth, all the maps change. There are new mountains." "It had never occurred to me before that music and thinking are so much alike. In fact you could say music is another way of thinking, or maybe thinking is another kind of music." "The power of the harasser, the abuser, the rapist depends above all on the silence of women." More In Art "There was a big drive when I was at art school to make you aware of the economy of meaning – after all, this was still during the tail end of minimalism. Being responsible for everything you put in your picture, and being able to defend it. Keeping everything clear around you so you know what is operating. To open the wound and keep it clean."― Jane Campion "The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe."― Gustave Flaubert "Is art really the priesthood that demands the pure in heart who belong to it wholly?"― Paul Cezanne
