A Spark
"A genuine work of art must mean many things; the truer its art, the more things it will mean...
...The best thing you can do for your fellow, next to rousing his conscience, is not to give him things to think about, but to wake things up that are in him; or say, to make him think things for himself."
- George MacDonald, The Fantastic Imagination
A Flame
"Art is a concretization of metaphysics. Art brings man's concepts to the perceptual level of his consciousness and allows him to grasp them directly, as if they were percepts."
- Ayn Rand, The Romantic Manifesto
A Wildfire
"A man cannot be wise enough to be a great artist without being wise enough to wish to be a philosopher. A man cannot have the energy to produce good art without having the energy to wish to pass beyond it. A small artist is content with art; a great artist is content with nothing except everything."
- G.K. Chesterton, Heretics
