"The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, It moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immotality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artists way of scribbling "Kilroy was here" on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass."

William Faulkner

And sometimes, you canâ€™t push them out, even if you want to.”
“I've gone to war zones before and never got shot.”
“But not all dark places need light, I have to remember that.”
