"You're not supposed to work harder, look better, sleep less, sell more, run faster, talk slower, be happier, stay longer, leave earlier, cook, clean, negotiate, settle, start, stop, move, try, win, shake, rattle or roll.

"You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching, Love like you’ll never be hurt, Sing like there’s nobody listening, And live like it’s heaven on earth." - William W. Purkey, the Poem
"The average of a lot of great ideas is a terrible idea." - Santiago Ortiz
"... life as an artist is a true eclectic mix of work, one long learning experience." - Jayne Libby Sims, abstract artist
"In collage, the plastic gesture is sometimes reduced to its simplest expression —a few cuts and dots of glue—, or it becomes manic and exhibits dexterous virtuosity, but the result is always surprising, disturbing; it forces the eye to adopt a different view, a different approach. Whether in photomontage or assembly, we’re still in a logic and a reflection ranging from the 'copy-pasted' to the 'cut-stolen'.” - Via
"Do you know what happens to wildlife when there is too much thinking? Yeah, what wildlife?" - The Universe
