Alchemy is a kind of philosophy: a kind of thinking that leads to a way of understanding.

Rational intelligence is dangerous and leads to ratiocination. The painter is a medium who doesn't realize what he is doing. No translation can express the mystery of sensibility, a word, still unreliable, which is nevertheless the basis of painting or poetry, like a kind of alchemy.

Get your education, and if you see small opportunities, take them. Each one could be a stepping stone to something bigger.
