“Vines” | Anthony Satori
“Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining. Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction. Therefore let passion exalt your reason, so that it may sing; and let reason direct your passion, so that it may live.”
– Khalil Gibran
“Getty Center Garden” | Anthony Satori
If we focus our hearts and minds on the good and beautiful things that we truly desire, then 1) they will be drawn to us, 2) we will recognize them when they arrive, and 3) we will have the courage, strength, and faith to grab ahold of them and make them our own.
“Jet Plane” | Anthony Satori
“Color is a power which directly influences the soul.”
– Wassily Kandinsky
“The Tao of Forms” | Anthony Satori
“When you do not dwell in ego, then things will of themselves reveal their forms to you. Your movement will be like that of water, your stillness like that of a mirror, your responses like those of an echo.”
– Chuang Tzu
“Pelican in Flight” | Anthony Satori
“Love is the only reality, and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation.”
– Rabindranath Tagore
“Chair” | Anthony Satori
It is quite mystical, really, how something physical – a place, a type of flower, an inanimate object; even a color, a sound, a flavor, or a scent – can become so full of meaning and beauty, merely from having accompanied a moment in your life when you felt great joy.
“Vibrance” | Anthony Satori
“I found I could say things with colors and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way; things I had no words for.”
– Georgia O’Keeffe
“Sacred Harbor” | Anthony Satori
“Every artwork is a voyage into a sacred harbor.”
– Giotto di Bondone
“Blue Bench” | Anthony Satori
“What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams.”
– Paul Gauguin
“Sphere” | Anthony Satori
“It is the possession of a great heart or a great mind, and not the mere fame of it, which is worth having and which is conducive to happiness. Not fame, but that which deserves to be famous, is what one should hold in esteem. Fame itself is only an accident.
Likewise, one who deserves fame without getting it possesses by far the more important element of happiness. It is not that a person is thought to be great by the masses… but that a person really is great, which should move us to value their position. And their happiness should not derive from the fact that posterity may hear of them, but rather from the fact that they are the creator of thoughts worthy to be treasured and studied.”
– Arthur Schopenhauer
