IF THE DOOR OF PERCEPTION WERE CLEANSED
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.—William Blake
I HAVE AN IDEA
I have an idea that the only thing which makes it possible to regard this world we live in without disgust is the beauty which now and then men create out of chaos. The pictures they paint, the music they compose, the books they write, and the lives they lead. Of all these the richest in beauty is the beautiful life. That is the perfect work of art. —W Somerset Maugham (Waddington in The Painted Veil, 1925)
