Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. ~Twyla Tharp

I didn’t discover curves; I only uncovered them. Mae West

Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.

High on a hill a goodly cedar grewe,Of wond’rous length and straight proportion,
That farre abroad her daintie odours threwe;
‘Mongst all the daughters of proud Libanon, Her match in beautie was not anie one.

if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you,
if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice,
for your soul is alive.
