Joseph Cornell quotes:

Life can have significance even if it appears to be a series of failures.

Look at everything as though you are seeing it for the first time, with eyes of a child, fresh with wonder.

My boxes are life's experiences aesthetically expressed.

Shadow boxes become poetic theaters or settings wherein are metamorphosed the element of a childhood pastime.

Beauty should be shared for it enhances our joys. To explore its mystery is to venture towards the sublime.

Children understand and remember concepts best when they learn from direct personal experience.
