Visible things can be invisible. However, our powers of thought grasp both the visible and the invisible – and I make use of painting to render thoughts visible.

Rene Magritte

Mime makes the invisible, visible and the visible, invisible.

Marcel Marceau

What is important to me in my work is the identity that is hidden behind so-called reality. I search for a bridge from the given present tot the invisible, rather as a famous cabalist once said, 'If you wish to grasp the invisible, penetrate as deeply as possible into the visible'.

Max Beckmann

I am the visible part of the invisible Christ. He is the invisible part of the visible me.

Adrian Rogers

Poetry is the break (or rather the meeting at the breaking point) between the visible and the invisible.

Jean Genet

In naming that which is right before me, that which I'd otherwise miss, the invisible becomes visible.

Ann Voskamp

Grey. It makes no statement whatever; it evokes neither feelings nor associations: it is really neither visible nor invisible. Its inconspicuousness gives it the capacity to mediate, to make visible, in a positively illusionistic way, like a photograph. It has the capacity that no other colour has, to make 'nothing' visible.

Gerhard Richter

Feeling invisible definitely makes you want to become visible sometimes.

Syd

What I want to show in my work is the idea which hides itself behind so-called reality. I am seeking for the bridge which leans from the visible to the invisible through reality. It may sound paradoxical, but it is in fact reality which forms the mystery of our existence.

Max Beckmann

Love is the greatest form of evangelization because it makes an invisible God visible.

Jason Evert

Sometimes he would advise me to read poetry, and would send me in his letters quantities of verses and whole poems, which he wrote from memory. 'Read poetry,' he wrote: 'poetry makes men better.' How often, in my later life, I realized the truth of this remark of his! Read poetry: it makes men better.

Peter Kropotkin

Labeling makes the invisible visible, but it's limiting. Categories are the enemy of connecting. Link, don't rank.

Gloria Steinem

The highest, the only reality, is ever at hand, but for the most part invisible. Genius makes it visible.

Egon Friedell

Work in the invisible world at least as hard as you do in the visible.

Rumi

Poetry is what makes the invisible appear.

Nathalie Sarraute

The severe schools shall never laugh me out of the philosophy of Hermes, that this visible world is but a picture of the invisible, wherein as in a portrait, things are not truly, but in equivocal shapes, and as they counterfeit some real substance in that invisible fabric.

Thomas Browne
