Michelangelo Quote

What do you see when presented with a block of marble, a tree trunk, a blank canvas, or a fresh journal page? Would you have seen the trapped angel begging to be released?

Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote

Some people see nothing but a stone, a slab of wood, or an unblemished surface. Their mind misses the curve of a new shape, a pattern winding through the grain, colors dancing, or a story or poem beginning to take form.

You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus. ~ Mark Twain

Consistency is the Last Refuge of the Unimaginative — Oscar Wilde

Dare to be inconsistent. Reach beyond the obvious and towards a different vision.

You’re Only Given a Little Spark of Madness. You Mustn’t Lose It — Robin Williams

I treasure the glint of strangeness, the extraordinary, and the unexpected that brews in my brain. I’m happy to see the world through a different kaleidoscope.

Do you envision places and things like everyone else, or can you add your own spin or twist?
