Reflections

"I began to see, early in my life, that the most important thing in life was that life was about consciousness, ... that we all of us have in us this potential to actually transform consciousness ...that this fact was... the real purpose of life."

"What I believe in is what the ancients call giving man heart's ease, I believe that art should give man peace."

"An artist must give to the world what he can and what he must and some artists, who give the world torment, conflict, violence, are actually promoting this condition in the world and extending it. And that's a kind of betrayal."
