"Художник, по невежествыу воображающий, будто без канонической формы он сотворит великое, подобен пешеходу, которому мешает, по его мнению, твердая почва и который мнит, что вися в воздухе, он ушел бы дальше, чем по земле. На самом же деле такой художник, отбросив форму совершенную, бессознательно хватается за обрывки и обломки тоже форм, но случайных и несовершенных, и к этим-то бессознательным реминисценциям притягивает эпитет «творчества»."-Pavel Florensky, Iconostasis
