I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock hem up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.

画布上的旧颜料，随着时间的推移，有时会变得透明。当这种情况发生时，在某些画作中，可以看到原始的线条：一棵树会透过女人的裙子显现出来，一个孩子给狗让路，一艘大船不再在开阔的海面上。这被称为“悔改”，因为画家“后悔了”，改变了主意。也许可以说，被后来的选择所取代的旧观念，是一种看然后再看的方式。

每本书都是一次全新的创作冒险。

艺术是唯一一种不必离家就能逃离的方式。
