By Atticus
Painfully long months have gone by, but your memories still make me wanna fly. I miss you.
Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Art will survive, artists won’t.
Art has the qualities of aesthetic beauty, purity, transcendence.
Nature is the art of God.
If you’re really a mean person, you’re going to come back as a fly and eat poop.
Some people create their own storms and then get mad when it rains.
Art has the answers to many of the questions we weren’t brave enough to ask.
What good are wings without the courage to fly?
She had just enough madness to make her interesting.
It takes a brave man to be truly mad.
Don’t ask her to be a rock for you to lean upon instead, build her wings and point her to the sky and she will teach you both to fly.
All art is in revolution of tyranny.
Treat a work of art like a prince: let it speak to you first.
Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they shall think.
Genius lives only one storey above madness.
What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.
I started flying because I had a fear of it early on. I figured if I learned to fly, I would understand better what was happening and started taking lessons in the late 1950’s, once I had made some money on tour.
Ever since I bought and started flying an airplane, it’s been almost exclusively for business. I love to fly. It’s a great joy to me. But rarely do I use it for any kind of pleasure, other than it is a pleasure to fly.
