We seek through art To recover our center, To remember our soul's task, To stop sleepwalking in confusion, To stop managing our depression, To harness the passion of inexhaustible love, To find the One Godself Hidden throughout creation, Art is the scab healing the wound Of the separate self-illusion.

Additional quotes by Alex Grey

I was bom on November 29, 1953, which makes me a Sagittarius. I'm no astrologer, but I am interested in its symbols. The Sagittarian is a centaur archer aiming for the stars. You could say this is the sign of a philosophical idealist, someone who aims high. The horse/human hybrid aiming higher unites the animal body, the human mind and the flaming-arrow spirit. Sagittarius is also a fire sign; fire shows up strongly as a motif in my work.
