we fail to nourish our souls, they wither, and without soul, life ceases to have
meaning. The creative process shrivels in the absence of continual dialogue with
the soul. And creativity is what makes life worth living.

It

more steadily. Doubts creep in. Then one becomes resigned. Determination not to
give in, and the sense of an impending shape keep one at it more than anything.
-- Virginia Woolf
"Art
amplifies voices on the margins—the views and opinions that power silences."
-- Will Youmans
