These three quotes from today’s Letter from Robert and Sara Genn (today’s is a reprint of Robert):
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation. — Henri Bergson
He who wishes to exert a useful influence must be careful to insult nothing. Let him not be troubled by what seems absurd, but concentrate his energies on the creation of what is good. — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have touched with a sense of art some people — they felt the love and the life. Can you offer me anything to compare to that joy for an artist? — Mary Cassatt
