Some people want
Indigo smiles and
It’s okay to love
A sad person.
But if I loved blue
As much as I love
Loving you
Then I’d write sadness
Into your ink,
To blot and stain
My hands.

Sad Ink
You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discover that it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that he is alone. This is why art is important. Art would not be important if life were not important, and life is important.

James Baldwin, Conversations with James Baldwin (via choes)
Everyone who works with love and with intelligence finds in the very sincerity of his love for nature and art a kind of armor against the opinions of other people.
Vincent Van Gogh (via peelsofpoetry)
Forgive the trees
for the way they can’t stop shaking
even after all these years of practice.
Forgive yourself
for the days you don’t even want to try.
Y.Z, a dying art (via rustyvoices)
Art and love are the same thing: It’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.
Chuck Klosterman (via quotemadness)
Once, Picasso was asked what his paintings meant. He said, ‘Do you ever know what the birds are singing? You don’t. But you listen to them anyway.’ So, sometimes with art, it is important just to look.
