“We fear death, we shudder at life’s instability, we grieve to see the flowers wilt again and again, and the leaves fall, and in our hearts we know that we, too, are transitory and will soon disappear. Thus, when artists create forms, pictures, colors and thinkers search for the laws and formulate thoughts, it is in order to salvage something from the great dance of death, to make something last longer than we do.”
