You can't really appreciate a work of art until you can understand how difficult it was to create. And that's probably true of any work of art - a rock, a tree, a bird, a fish, a sunrise made of light and air.

There is no such thing as failure for an artist, unless failure is the refusal to attempt, the unwillingness to dream.

We are the last generation with a real opportunity to save the world.

Only love and courage will make this world a safer place. Hatred and fear will make it more dangerous.

Live with an open mind and an open heart. Always choose love over fear and kindness over cruelty.

From generation to generation, lights are extinguished and darkness threatens until some one stoops to bear the torch.

Creativity is at the root of love and meaning in this life.
