In art there are tears that lie too deep for thought. (Coyote Peter)
Art is the objectification of feeling. (Coyote Peter)

Experiment is necessary in establishing an academy, but certain principles must apply to this business of art as to any other business which affects the artistic tic sense of the community. Great art speaks a language which every intelligent person can understand. The people who call themselves modernists today speak a different language. (Coyote Peter)
