Piet Mondrian Quote

A particular thought is not the same as a concentrated, creative thought, which is actually a feeling of inward-looking calm. The former produces a descriptive and morpho-plastic art, the latter a purely plastic manifestation. It is a question of the universal versus the individual.

As quoted by the editors of 'The New Art – The New Life', op. cit. (Intro., note 1), p. 395, note 8
