QUOTE(S) OF THE DAY
“When one paints an ideal, one does not need to limit one's imagination.” – Ellen Key
“My social and political interests are part of my career. I cannot separate them. My songs reflect the human condition. The role of art isn't just to show life as it is, but to show life as it should be.” – Harry Belafonte
“Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.” – Frank Gehry
"Be your own artist, and always be confident in what you're doing. If you're not going to be confident, you might as well not be doing it." -- Aretha Franklin
“Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.” – Frédéric Chopin
“All change is not growth, as all movement is not forward.” – Ellen Glasgow
“Life is something to do when you can't get to sleep.” – Fran Lebowitz
