“See, the institutions and specialist, experts, you see. Yes, yes,
experts, indeed. See, they would have us believe that there is an order
to art. An explanation. Humans are odd creatures in that way. Always
searching for a formula. Yes, a formula to create an expected norm for
unexplainable greatness. A cook book you might say. Yes, a recipe
book for life, love, and art. However, my dear, let me tell you. Yes,
there is no such thing. Every individual is unique in their own design,
as intended by God himself. We classify, yes, always must we classify,
for if not, then we would be lost, yes lost now wouldn't we?
Classification, order, expectations, but alas, we forget. For what is art,
if not the out word expression of an artist. It is the soul of the artisan
and if his expectations are met, than who are we to judge whether his
work be art or not?”
― The Unsung Love Story

“..sentía que formaba parte de una maquinaria,que él era un minúsculo engrane y que los otros también. Aunque pensar eso lo hacía sentir insignificante, se sentía también parte de un todo. Quizá sentir esto es Dios, pensaba, pero la primera vez que su cuerpo se unió al de alguien más tuvo esa misma sensación, la de bullir con otro cuerpo hasta formar parte los dos de un único brebaje.”
