Painter Mark Tobey said this of one’s inner space:
The cult of space can become as dull as that of the object. The dimension that counts for the creative person is the Space he creates within himself. This space is closer to the infinite than the other, and it is the privilege of a balanced mind - and the search for an equilibrium is essential - to be as aware of inner space as he is of outer space. If he ventures in one, and neglects the other, man falls off his horse and the equilibrium is broken. (Quoted from The Natural Paradise: Painting in America 1800-1950, The Museum of Modern Art, New York. 1976. p. 125.)
