"an unexpected ending of a visit to the studio."

"Tak niewiele jest wolnych stron w moim kalendarzu zajęć, wolnych pomieszczeń, w których mogę zostać sama i odnaleźć siebie, wolnych godzin w ciągu dnia. Za dużo zajęć, ludzi, rzeczy i interesujących spotkań. Okazuje się, że nie tylko rzeczy trywialne zagracają nasze życie, ale także to, co ważne. Możemy posiadać nadmiar skarbów..."

/Anne Morrow Lindbergh/

"There are so few free pages in my agenda, so few free spaces where I can be alone and find myself, free hours during the day. Too many things to do, too many people, things and interesting meetings. It turns out that it's not just the commonplace things that clutter our life, but also the important ones. We can have too many treasures..."

"Jeżeli zabałaganione biurko jest znakiem zabałaganionego umysłu, znakiem czego jest puste biurko?"

/Albert Einstein/

"If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?"
/Albert Einstein/

(the text says):
left: "The power of a clean desk is yet another myth - you work badly if you have a messy desk. But tidy surroundings don't mean the guarantee of maximum of mobilisation. There are organic untidy people. Mess is their natural environment and their ideal work space. They dive into piles of paper and find exactly what they were searching for. Or they rummage endlessly in old newspapers and that is when they come up with brilliant new ideas. Office files, diaries, filing cabinets - none of that. Chaos serves them, and being tidy works like a stiff collar."
right: "Order is the pleasure of the reason. Mess is the delight of the imagination."

"Nie musisz jechać do Indii, czy gdziekolwiek indziej, żeby odnaleźć spokój. Możesz znaleźć to miejsce głębokiej ciszy we własnym pokoju, ogrodzie lub nawet w swojej wannie."
/Elisabeth Kubler-Ross/

"Jednym z zadań prawdziwej przyjaźni jest współczujące i twórcze wsłuchiwanie się w ukryte cisze. Często sekretów nie ubiera się w słowa. Są one ukryte w ciszy pomiędzy słowami lub w głębi tego, co niewypowiedziane pomiędzy dwojgiem ludzi."

/John O'Donohue/

"One of the tasks of true frieship is to listen compassionately and creatively to the hidden silences. Often secrets are not revealed in words, they lie concealed in the silence between the words or in the depth of what is unsayable between two people."
/John O'Donohue/

"Sztuka jest po to, żebyśmy nie umarli na rzeczywistość."
