“The abstraction, ostensibly, is simply for me the penetration of something that is more profound in many ways than rigidity of a form. A form if it breathes some, if it has some enigma to it, it is also the enigma that is the abstract, I would think.”
—Beauford Delaney
“Keep the faith and trust in so far as possible. Love humility and don’t mind the insinuations that cause sorrow… and loneliness and limitations. We learn self-reliance and to hear the voice of God, too… and how to… not break but bend gently. Learning to love is learning to suffer deeply and with quietness.”
