Art of the Heretic
“There are many things I would like to tell you about, but much more I should like to show you. I often find words a poor substitute for experience, and art, like food or music or the theater, is best experienced rather than spoken of. Little in this world is comparable to the feeling of being surrounded by beauty, being immersed in it, as I have been.”
