“There are moments in our lives, there are moments in a day, when we seem to see beyond the usual. Such are the moments of our greatest happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest wisdom. If one could but recall his vision by some sort of sign; it was in this hope that the arts were invented. Sign-posts on the way to what may be. Sign-posts toward greater knowledge.” 

“Art when really understood is the province of every human being. It is simply a question of doing things, anything, well. It is not an outside, extra thing.” 

ROBERT HENRI– Impressionist painter/teacher
