No matter how substandard you feel your skill or talent may be, If you never produce your art, the world will always remain deprived of it.

If you want to know what true art is: Go outside on a clear night, wait until it gets very, very dark, then look up! You will see no rules of composition, no evidence of superior technique. Yet, you will be staring into the very face of pure, unadulterated beauty and wonder. That is the unattainable Ideal for which I must constantly strive.

If you're going to condemn a people based on the actions of the worst of its ranks; take a good look at the worst of your people first and judge yourself.

Keep the people ignorant and afraid and control and power becomes a detail - a self generating byproduct of the people's hysteria.
