"If Your Eyes Are Opened, You'll See The Things Worth Seeing."

-- Rumi

“There's not much high and low culture any more: there's just mingling streams of art and what matters is whether it's good art or bad art.”
“Men are egotists, and not all tolerant of one man's selfhood; they do not always deem the amities elective.”
“Slow down you're doing fine You can't be everything you want to be before your time.”
