Quote by Emily Carr

I think that one's art is a growth inside one. I do not think one can explain growth. It is silent and subtle. One does not keep digging up a plant to see how it grows.

I think that one's art is a growth inside one. I do not thin

Summary

This quote suggests that art is a personal and introspective process, representing growth within an individual. It highlights the notion that growth, like art, is intangible and cannot be fully explained or observed by constantly examining it. By using the analogy of a plant, the quote emphasizes that growth occurs naturally and organically, without needing constant scrutiny. It suggests that art, similarly, should be allowed to develop silently and subtlety within an artist, without constantly dissecting or analyzing it.

While fame impedes and constricts, obscurity wraps about a man like a mist; obscurity is dark, ample, and free; obscurity lets the mind take its way unimpeded. Over the obscure man is poured the merciful suffusion of darkness. None knows where he goes or comes. He may seek the truth and speak it; he alone is free; he alone is truthful, he alone is at peace.

In any society, the artist has a responsibility. His effectiveness is certainly limited and a painter or writer cannot change the world. But they can keep an essential margin of non-conformity alive. Thanks to them the powerful can never affirm that everyone agrees with their acts. That small difference is important.
