"I feel that art has something to do with the achievement of stillness in the midst of chaos. A stillness which characterizes prayer, too, and the eye of the storm. I think that art has something to do with an arrest of attention in the midst of distraction."
Saul Bellow (1915 – 2005)
"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary."
“The Gong is the first and last instrument for the human mind, there is only one thing that can supersede and command the human mind, the sound of the Gong.
It is the first sound in the universe, the sound that created this universe. It’s the basic creative sound.
To the mind, the sound of the gong is like a mother and father that gave it birth.
The mind has no power to resist a gong that is well played.”
