"A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality."  --Yoko Ono

"Without consciousness there is nothing. The only way you experience your body and the world of mountains and people, trees and dogs, stars and music is through your subjective experiences, thoughts, and memories. You act and move, see and hear, love and hate, remember the past and imagine the future. But ultimately, you only encounter the world in all of its manifestations via consciousness. And when consciousness ceases, this world ceases as well ... Consciousness is the central fact of your life."  Cristof Koch

"I want to make drawings that move some people. (...) I want to reach the point where people say of my work, that man feels deeply and that man feels subtly."  --Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo, The Hague, about 21 July 1882

"Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together."  --Vincent van Gogh

"Mistakes are part of the game. It's how well you recover from them, that's the mark of a great player."  --Alice Cooper

“Everything begins with consciousness and nothing is worth anything except through it,”  --Albert Camus
