I love this quote of Matisse, first found in _The World of Matisse_, by Time-Life books, but also translated from the French in _Creativity and spirituality: Bonds Between Art and Religion_, by Earle Jerome Coleman, page 105:

"What I dream is an art of equilibrium, purity and tranquility, without disquieting or disturbing subjects, which could be for the mental worker, the business man, and the man of letters too, for example, a mental refreshment and relaxation, something analogous to a good easy chair in which one rests from his physical fatigue."
