Spanish term or phrase: donde hay que llegar es a un principio
Ramón Gaya dialogaba sobre “sentimiento y sustancia en la pintura” y afirmaba que “para el creador no hay término conocido ni lo habrá nunca. Se trata de terminar esta vida y esta vocación en algo vivo, es decir, en algo completamente original, naciente. Es decir, en vez de llegar a una maestría, **donde hay que llegar es a un principio**”.
