Le créateur, ou l´artiste, ne se contente pas de produire un objet utile, mais il investit cet objet de sa subjectivité, de son ressenti personnel: il va incarner dans son oeuvre son 'idea', c´est-à-dire le projet, la vision qu´il porte en lui et dans laquelle d´autres vont se retrouver, car la création artistique, acte gratuit, sans "utilité" réelle, est une activité symbolique qui s´adresse au plus profond de l´être. D´ailleurs, pour la qualifier, nous utilisons le language du coeur et de l´âme: face à une oeuvre d´art nous nous déclarons "émus", "touchés", "bouleversés". Ce n´est pas l´usage que nous pouvons en faire qui nous interpelle mais sa dimension esthétique et symbolique gratuite. ↗

All my life I have placed great store in civility and good manners, practices I find scarce among the often hard-edged, badly socialized scientists with whom I associate. Tone of voice means a great deal to me in the course of debate. I despise the arrogance and doting self-regard so frequently found among the very bright. ↗

A gossip is one who talks to you about others, a bore is one who talks to you about himself, and a brilliant conversationalist is one who talks to you about yourself. ↗

I will hold my self to a standard of grace which is Christ's gift, not perfection which is Satan's trap. ↗
