“It is in order to really see, to see ever deeper, ever more intensely, hence to be fully aware and alive, that I draw what the Chinese call 'The Ten Thousand Things' around me. Drawing is the discipline by which I constantly rediscover the world. I have learned that what I have not drawn, I have never really seen, and that when I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is, sheer miracle.” -- Frederick Franck

"Whether Frederick Franck is working in brush and ink, in steel, in stone, or in the written word,
he is always uncovering sacred space, always in search of the place where things are at home
being just what they are, and where we may join them if only we can get over our everyday selves.
Everything he makes, every book he writes is meant to be a finger pointing away from itself and in that direction.”
~ Prof. James W. Heisig, Director of the Institute for Religion and Culture at the Nanzan University, Nagoya, Japan
