Art is an adventure that never seems to end. – Jason, Los Cerros Middle School, 1999

Surely all art is the result of ones having been in danger, of having gone through an experience all the way to the end, where no one can go any further. – Rainer Maria Rilke

In order for the artist to have a world to express he must first be situated in this world, oppressed or oppressing, resigned or rebellious, a man among men. – Simone de Beauvoir
