"Some people make a mistake in being afraid of the word mystic, to which they give a too strictly orthodox religious meaning. One must rescue that word from its ourworn, mouldering exterior, and rediscover its pure, elevated untouched shape. Mystic!... How often that word has been thrown in my face, just as earlier, people blamed me for being "literary!" But without mysticism would there exist in the world a single great picture, a single great poem, or even a single great social movement : deprived of the power of mysticism, of the feeling underlying the rational, would it not fade and die?" - Marc Chagall (Mourlot, F. & Sorlier, C. The Lithographs of Chagall III, 1962-1968. Boston Book and Art Shop, Inc., 1969. p. 94).
