The Writer's Brush Quotes

“The deaf carve poetry out of space with their hands. The blind absorb stories though their fingers. The Greeks grouped poetry with the healing arts of medicine under the aegis of Apollo.”
― Donald Friedman, The Writer's Brush: Paintings, Drawings, and Sculpture by Writers

“Drawing, painting and sculpture partake of the physical world and are sensory, while writing is conceptual. This distinction blurs, however, when one considers that there is pleasure in rhyme, rhythm, and meter, which is musical, somatic, and sensual enough to provoke physical response.”
