There was a whole language that I could never make function

Summary

In this quote, the speaker reflects on their inability to relate to certain attitudes associated with the act of painting, such as being tortured, struggling, or in pain. The speaker suggests that despite these common perceptions, they personally cannot find meaning or productive use in such states of being. This could imply that the speaker approaches painting with a different mindset or viewpoint, one that diverges from the traditional notions of suffering for an art form, and instead potentially finds inspiration and creativity in other aspects of life or artistic practice.

An educator should think of a child as a garderner thinks of a plant, as something to be made to grow by having the right soil and the right kind amount of water. If your roses fail to bloom, it does not occur to you to whip them, but you should try to find out what has been amiss in your treatment of them... The important thing is what the children do, and not what they do not do. And what they do, if it is to have value, must be a spontaneous expression of their own vital energy.
