“It may be history, it may be only a legend, a tradition. It may have happened, it may not have happened: but it could have happened. It may be that the wise and the learned believed it in the old days; it maybe that only the unlearned and the simple loved it and credited it.”
― Mark Twain, The Prince and the Pauper

“The hardest part is walking toward the things that will seemingly result in our death. It isn’t the struggle, it isn’t the battle, and it isn’t the making. It is the moment when we clearly see all the ways we could be crushed by continuing and still take a step forward. In the pursuit of art, we learn the courage to face death, failure, and fear. It is the bravery of walking towards the things that feel impossible. It is the knowing that to practice our art is to practice resurrection again and again and again. Amen.”

“So long as the desire for outward achievement overmaster the primary duty of care to preserve the delicacy and sensitivities of conscience, the root of the persecuting spirit remains in the heart”
