Project Quotes:
“This project offers a beautiful exploration of the Fetzer Institute’s mission—to foster awareness of the power of love and forgiveness—through the lens of the arts and creativity. The range of artists represented along with their heartfelt, vibrant, and inspiring words is a testament to the importance of the values they invoke. Each entry has a powerful capacity to express the transformative power of love and forgiveness and offers the reader a perspective that these are themselves creative catalysts in our global community.”
– Gillian Gonda, Program Director at the Fetzer Institute
“I believe that artists can become the visionaries of culture and community. They help us interpret our world through their own unique lens of creativity and imagination. Together this can illuminate our understanding of the virtues that bring meaning to life, and significance to our existence. Artists write the poems, carve the statues, paint the pictures, and sing the songs that define us and can reflect the essential heart of humanity.”
– Justin St. Vincent, Managing Editor of “LOVE LIVE FORGIVE: Insights from Artists”
“I’m becoming increasingly aware that young artists are developing a genuine and heart-felt spiritual hunger to find their own answers to the big questions of life, and yet they struggle to find a source that provides them with a spiritual signpost. I feel that this project can strongly resonate with young artists; teenagers, students, and graduates alike, to help develop their own understanding of love, forgiveness, the creative spirit, and how to practically express these essential virtues in their world today. As a daily reading or reflection, this book can offer an inspiring moment in reading the insights from artists around the world.”
– Justin St. Vincent, Managing Editor of “LOVE LIVE FORGIVE: Insights from Artists”
