The art of practice

“I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired."

- Martha Graham (world-famous choreographer and dancer)

The battle for compassion

"I believe this is our role in life, to take pleasure in one's own resistance and take responsibility to be an agent of positive change"

"Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true" - Charles Dickens

"The world doesn't change one person at a time. It changes as networks of relationships form among people who share a common cause and vision of what's possible."

Fernando Botero

Rather than creating works of art purely made to shock and provoke a certain reaction, Botero seeks to provide a sense of tranquillity and joy through much of his art – as the artist said himself, ‘art should be an oasis, a place of refuge from the hardness of life.’ 

‘an artist is never complete.’
