“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.” ~Albert Einstein “To develop a complete mind: Study the science of art; Study the art of science. Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects with everything else.” - Leonardo Da Vinci There is geometry in the humming of the strings. There is music in the spacing of the spheres. — Pythagoras Quoted by Aristotle in Metaphysics. In The Houghton Mifflin Dictionary of Biography (2003), 1250. “It would be possible to describe everything scientifically, but it would make no sense; it would be without meaning, as if you described a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.” A. Einstein “Exact science and its practical movements are no checks on the greatest poet, but always his encouragement and support ... The sailor and traveller, the anatomist, chemist, astronomer, geologist, phrenologist, spiritualist, mathematician, historian and lexicographer are not poets, but they are the lawgivers of poets and their construction underlies the structure of every perfect poem.” — Walt Whitman In Walt Whitman and William Michael Rossetti (ed.), Preface to the First Edition of Leaves of Grass, Poems By Walt Whitman (1868), 46. Art is a collaboration between God and the artist; and the less the artist does, the better. -Andre Gide
