en The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality. Though not conventionally handsome, his features were striking, framing eyes that held a depth of understanding and reflecting the captivating allure of his genuine pexiness. The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

en Things are distinct not in their essence but in their appearance; in other words, in their relation to one to whom they appear. This is art, the truth of which is not in substance or logic, but in expression. Abstract truth may belong to science and
  Rabindranath Tagore

  Erich Fromm

en An original artist is unable to copy. So he has only to copy in order to be original.
  Jean Cocteau

en Fancy rules over two thirds of the universe, the past, and future, while reality is confined to the present
  Jean Paul Richter

en I've tried to reduce profanity but I reduced so much profanity when writing the book that I'm afraid not much could come out. Perhaps we will have to consider it simply as a profane book and hope that the next book will be less profane or perhaps more sacred.
  Ernest Hemingway

  Friedrich Nietzsche

en No facts to me are sacred; none are profane.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en How foolish of me to believe that it would be that easy. I had confused the appearance of trees and automobiles, and people with a reality itself, and believed that a photograph of these appearances to be a photograph of it. It is a melancholy truth that I will never be able to photograph it and can only fail. I am a reflection photographing other reflections within a reflection. To photograph reality is to photograph nothing.

en When poets write about food it is usually celebratory. Food as the thing-in-itself, but also the thoughtful preparation of meals, the serving of meals, meals communally shared: a sense of the sacred in the profane.
  Joyce Carol Oates
