"No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger." ― Rainer Maria Rilke Topic(s): Art More From Rainer Maria Rilke "Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night." "Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect and touch and greet each other." "Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky." More In Art "Art saved me; it got me through my depression and self-loathing, back to a place of innocence."― Jeanette Winterson "If you woke up each morning, and immediately dwelt on your ills, what sort of a day could you look forward to?"― Maeve Binchy "Censorship is to art as lynching is to justice."― Henry Louis Gates
