  • “Who would ever have been able to anticipate the effect of music before having heard it?

    Painting should pervade the soul in the same way, and as long as it does not do this it is nothing more than a brainless handicraft.”

    ~ Arnold Böcklin, 1897

  • “Hold fast your dreams!
    Within your heart
    Keep one still, secret spot
    Where dreams may go,
    And, sheltered so,
    May thrive and grow
    Where doubt and fear are not.
    O keep a place apart,
    Within your heart,
    For little dreams to go!”
