June 22, 2008 Inspiration Quotes and Photos

"The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion. Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear, is a dead man.
To know that what is impenetrable for us really exists and manifests itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, whose gross forms alone are intelligible to our poor faculties - this knowledge, this feeling ... that is the core of the true religious sentiment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself among profoundly religious men.



>

He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.

~Albert Einstein





It occurs to me now that I have never seen the ice-storm put upon canvas,
and have not heard that any painter has tried to do it.

I wonder why that is.
Is it that paint cannot counterfeit the intense blaze of a sun-flooded jewel?

~Mark Twain
