“The last thing one finds out when constructing a work is what to put first.”
- Blaise Pascal (1623 – 1662), French philosopher and scientist: “Pensées”, 1670.
“In writing with words alone, the author directs the reader’s imagination. In comics the imagining is done for the reader. An image once drawn becomes a precise statement that brooks little or no further interpretation. When the two are “mixed” the words become welded to the image and no longer serve to describe but rather to provide sound, dialogue and connective passages.”
- Will Eisner (1917 – 2005), American cartoonist and father of the graphic novel: ‘Essay on Comic Art No. 6 (Writing & Sequential Art)’ in “Will Eisner’s The Spirit”, issue 32, 1981.
“By creating a new unity in a poem or other work of art, the artist is attempting to restore a lost unity, or to find a new unity, within the inner world of the psyche, as well as producing work which has a real existence in the external world.”
- Dr. Anthony Storr (b. 1920), British writer and psychiatrist: “Solitude”, 1989.
