Art is the space between—

The thing about art

it can only evoke the feelings already inside you—

it's completely undefined without an audience's reflections

it can't offer more than what you already have.

The thing itself is not art: the poem, the painting, the film.

It is the space between you and that thing.

Here’s what I’ve learned about love:

Love is truly accepting someone for who they are. It has nothing to do with desire.

Desire is the pursuit of love. But real love stands still. Real love sees things for exactly what they are and chooses to remain. Real love is not a happy ending. It’s the acceptance of any possibility and every ending.

This kind of love is honesty. And honesty is beauty.
