OF REMBRANDT: "... this man carries a wound, and he knows it. It is the wound that comes from having given your all to a chosen path, indeed to life itself. And more, it is the wound that comes with that knowledge that despite all you have given, you are never, ever, going to fully grasp the mystery, the poignant impossibility, of your own life. Rembrandt was willing to hold the big questions without having them answered. ... He shows us the fullness of our own human condition, the pain along with the beauty, the truth and also the mercy... Rembrandt lived his life according to the promptings of the knowing, intelligent heart... the more we live from that depth, the more we are free to be who we can be, and the more life may open to a greater fullness, ever surprising... Rembrandt knew the redemptive, healing power of art, not just for those who came to his studio still to admire his work, but for his own stricken and grieving soul."
