Letting Go

The problem with people today is they try to find a reason for everything, done right or gone wrong. Sometimes, things just happen and there is no need to explain why. It is wiser to let go.

Sleep

About Art and Expression

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot; others transform a yellow spot into the sun.
Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?

Children

Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.

Staying an Artist

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

These words meant something to me, perhaps one day, it will do the same for you.
