世界不是从他想象的地方运行的。不是从城堡的墙壁,而是从账房,不是由号角的呼唤,而是由算盘的点击,不是由大刀的磨擦和点击,而是由笔的刮擦。
The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned.
The best art is always on the edge of taste.
I have always been a stranger in this world, a visitor, a tourist.
Art is about acceptance. It's about embracing the world around you.
