"To paint is to love again. It’s only when we look with eyes
of love that we see as the painter sees. His is a love, moreover, which is free
of possessiveness. What the painter sees he is duty-bound to share. Usually he
makes us see and feel what ordinarily we ignore or are immune to. His manner of
approaching the world tells us, in effect, that nothing is vile or hideous,
nothing is stale, flat and unpalatable unless it be our own power of vision. To
see is not merely to look. One must look-see. See into and around."
Henry Miller
"From Me to You" Janis Ian
