"Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom;
yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom;
seek learning, even by study and also by faith."
Doctrine and Covenants 88:118

"And the gatherer sought to find pleasing words, worthy writings, words of Truth."
Ecclesiastes 12:10

The Work of Art from the Point of View of the Artist

"Art in general is a little like playing with fire; the artist deals with something without knowing precisely what it is: he creates something without knowing precisely what it will 'mean.'  The work, it seems to me, should always be somehow 'cleverer' than its author and he should ultimately be able to stand before it filled with the same sense of awe and with the same questions in his mind as someone seeing or reading it for the first time..."
