Quote by Robert Smithson

Artists themselves are not confined, but their output is.

Artists themselves are not confined, but their output is.

Summary

This quote pertains to the notion that artists, as creative individuals, possess limitless potential and imagination. They are not restricted or constrained by conventional boundaries and rules. However, when it comes to expressing themselves through their art, their work is ultimately confined and limited. This may be due to various factors, such as societal expectations, market demands, or the need for their art to be relatable or understandable by the audience. In essence, while artists themselves are free, the final manifestation of their creativity is subject to restraints.

You can't control the paparazzi. But if you go to Coachella you're going to get photographed. Whereas if you're at home, walking down the street you probably won't. It's something I've learnt to navigate my way around but I try to keep my private life private.

Do you wish to learn the secret of true Eucharistic prayer?

Do you wish to learn the secret of true Eucharistic prayer? Consider, then, all the mysteries in the light of the Blessed Sacrament. It is a divine prism through which they can all be studied. The Holy Eucharist is, indeed, 'Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today, and the same forever' (Heb 13:8). In this Sacrament He glorifies all the mysteries of His life and prolongs, as it were, the exercise of all His virtues. The Eucharist is, in a word, the great Mystery of our faith to which all Catholic truths lead.
