The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.<br />
So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." <span style="font-size: 78%;">-</span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/t/theodore_roosevelt.html"> T. Roosevelt</a></span><br />

The soul works constantly there, shuttling between heaven and hell, spirit and matter. Each moment, every sound, vision, taste, smell and feeling is a brilliant creation dynamically colored with emotion and meaning. In reverie, the artist enters the studio of the heart and is awed by the soul's work. The artist then labors to bring these revelations into tangible form. Angels and demons compete to lift the artist's hand."<br /> <a href="http://www.alexgrey.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">Alex Grey</span></a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:85%;" >This artist has written several books on the subject of creative inspiration and some of his passages are most extraordinary.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
