“Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.”
Paul Klee Foundation

“But if these years have taught me anything it is this: you can never run away. Not ever. The only way out is in.”
Junot Díaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

“If all good people were clever; and all clever people were good, the world would be nicer than ever what it possibly could.
But somehow 'tis seldom or never the two hit it off as they should; the good are so harsh to the clever,the clever so rude to the good.”
Elizabeth Wordsworth
