Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day. ~Rainer Maria Rilke<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> </div> Darcy Ricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07826109356625457105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456050370231202080.post-38010744822780297752013-10-25T13:46:00.001-07:002013-10-25T13:46:54.725-07:00Daily Thoughts<div class="WordSection1"> <p class="MsoNormal">My life didn't please me, so I created my life. ~Coco Chanel<o:p></o:p></p> </div> Darcy Ricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07826109356625457105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456050370231202080.post-52522729102464469472013-10-24T12:11:00.000-07:002013-10-24T12:12:07.743-07:00Daily Thoughts<div class="WordSection1"> <p class="MsoNormal">Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon.

Those who have the gift of creative expression in unusually large measure disclose the meaning of the individuality of others to those others. In participating in the work of art, they become artists in their activity. They learn to know and honor individuality in whatever form it appears. The fountains of creative activity are discovered and released. The free individuality which is the source of art is also the final source of creative development in time. ~John Dewey<o:p></o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p> </div> Darcy Ricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07826109356625457105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456050370231202080.post-31753014965550186722012-02-27T14:54:00.001-08:002012-02-27T14:54:44.175-08:00Daily Thoughts<div class=WordSection1> <p class=MsoNormal>Creativity comes from a conflict of ideas. ~Donatella Versace<o:p></o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p> </div> Darcy Ricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07826109356625457105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456050370231202080.post-39943109903728439592012-02-13T09:39:00.001-08:002012-02-13T09:39:38.106-08:00Daily Thoughts<div class=WordSection1> <p class=MsoNormal>God is creating at every moment of the world's existence in and through the perpetually endowed creativity of the very stuff of the world. ~Arthur Peacocke<o:p></o:p></p> <p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p> </div> Darcy Ricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07826109356625457105noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456050370231202080.post-70845820949492648722012-02-10T09:18:00.001-08:002012-02-10T09:18:46.468-08:00Daily Thoughts<div class=WordSection1> <p class=MsoNormal>Everyone has talent at 25.
