"Before our time, upon a noun,
there stood still a ship..."

-Danielson, "Ship the Majestic Suffix"

Creativity isn't the monopoly of artists. This is the crucial fact I've come to realise, and this broader concept of creativity is my concept of art. When I say everybody is an artist, I mean everybody can determine the content of life in his particular sphere, whether in painting, music, engineering, caring for the sick, the economy or whatever. All around us the fundamentals of life are crying out to be shaped or created.

-Joseph Beuys

Stillness is our most intense mode of action. It is in our moments of deep quiet that is born every idea, emotion and drive which we eventually honor with the name of action. Our most emotionally active life is lived in our dreams, and our cells renew themselves most industriously in sleep. We reach highest in meditation and the farthest in prayer. In stillness every human being is great; he is free from the experience of hostility; he is a poet and most like an angel.

Leonard Bernstein, 1976
