"The only way you can describe a human being truly is by describing his imperfections." Joseph Campbell
"I live neither in the past nor in the future. I am the present. I cannot know what tomorrow will bring forth. I can know only what the truth is for me today. That is what I am called upon to serve, and I serve it in all lucidity." Igor Stravinsky "The uninitated imagine that one must await inspiration in order to create. That is a mistake. I am far from saying that there is no such thing as inspiration; quite te opposite. It is found as a driving force in every kind of human activity, and is in no wise peculiar to artists. But that force is only brought into action by an effort, and that effort is work." - Igor Stravisnky, An Autobiography |
