You use a mirror to see your face, you use art to see your soul.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950),
Irish playwright, critic, and political activist
“What I love about this quote is that the whole notion of the life of expression is that a mirror gives us a way to see ourselves and art gives us a way even deeper than a mirror. It does more than just reflect back, it opens up a whole channel. And by art we mean a very, very large definition of art. When we open our heart, feel, perceive, and let that feeling come back out, we are opening an inlet between our inner life and the rest of life. And that’s the beauty. That’s why that quote speaks to me.”
Mark Nepo, poet, philosopher and the author of
Drinking from the River of Light: The Life of Expression
