Quote by Malcolm De Chazal

Art is nature speeded up and God slowed down.

Art is nature speeded up and God slowed down.

Summary

This quote suggests that art captures the essence of nature in a condensed, intensified form, creating a sense of speed. On the other hand, it implies that God, who is often associated with slowness and patience, slows down the divine creative process. In essence, art serves as a bridge between the rapidity of nature and the unhurried pace of divine creation, presenting a unique and powerful perspective on the world around us.

I think God is something that people use to avoid reality. I think faith allows people to reject what is right in front of our eyes, which is that thing, this life, this existence, this consciousness, or whatever word you want to use for it, is all we have, and all we'll ever have. I think people have faith because they want and need to believe in something, whatever that something is, because life can be hard and depressing and brutal if you don't.

There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there. All great discoveries have involved such a leap. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
