Whether pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral, gross or subtle, every sensation shares the same characteristic: it arises and passes away, arises and passes away. It is this arising and passing that we have to experience through practice, not just accept as truth because Buddha said so, not just accept because intellectually it seems logical enough to us. We must experience sensation’s nature, understand its flux, and learn not to react to it.
—S.N. Goenka, “Finding Sense in Sensation”
Whilst I'm in the quote mood, there are 150 quotes to Inspire you over on the Skinny Artist site,
“Art will remain the most astonishing activity of mankind
born out of struggle between wisdom and madness,
between dream and reality in our mind.”
~Magdalena Abakanowicz
