— Richard Diebenkorn"All paintings start out of a mood, out of a relationship with things or people, out of a complete visual impression.

With an abstract idea it is possible to enter into a relation of formal knowledge, to become enthusiastic about it, and perhaps even to put it into practice; but it can never be followed in personal obedience. Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
