"Drawing itself is a part of learning: learning to use one’s eyes to see more intensely." - Henry Moore
"Borders represent the idea of impermeability alongside the reality of permeability. Borders separate at the same time as they connect. They insist on purity, distinction, difference, but facilitate contamination, mixing, creolization. Borders fix, demarcate; but they are themselves imaginary, fluid, always in the process of changing." - Susan Stanford Friedman
"The best way to win an argument is to begin by being right." - Via
"Holy cow! You mean I could have thought anything ... and been anything?!" - TU
"The mirth and fun grew fast and furious." - Robbie Burns
