“If the man who paints only the tree, or flower, or other surface he sees before him were an artist, the king of artists would be the photographer. It is for the artist to do something beyond this.”

“These are the kinds of clouds you see ships in, turtles in, the kinds of clouds you see the mouths of wolves in. These are the kinds of rocks you see lost cities in, lost worlds in, the kinds of rocks where great warriors contend with great beasts. Far off, at right, rain streaks into shadow. Soon the light will shift, and the shapes will shift with the light, and you will make new worlds of these shapes, worlds for your imagination to revel in and dwell in.”
