Quotes We Love: Henri Matisse
“The Sorrows of The King ” by Henri Matisse, 1952,
“…this courage is essential to the artist, who has to look at everything as though he were seeing it for the first time: He has to look at life as he did when he was a child and, if he loses that faculty, he cannot express himself in an original, that is, a personal way.”
Henri Matisse,
Nice 1925
Henri Matisse, 1953 (extract from “Looking at Life through the eyes of a child”)

Quotes We Love: Ben Okri
Ben Okri
” A delighted mood blossomed in him as he passed the glittering arcades and marketplaces where the Invisibles from all over the world came to buy and sell ideas. Here they traded in philosophies, inspirations, intuitions, prophecies, paradoxes, riddles, enigmas, visions and dreams. Enigmas were their trinkets, philosophies their jewelleries, paradoxes their silver, clarity their measure, inspiration their gold, prophecy their language, vision their play and dreams their standards.”
Ben Okri, “Astonishing the Gods”
