Welcome
“What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”
“It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.”

“Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all.”
“The heart of man is very much the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too”
"I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life and I’ve never let it keep me from a single thing that I wanted to do."

“I don't think you can create art out of anger; it has to come out of some form of understanding. You have to feel good about who you are and that you could do something to change things.”
