“There are some words in the Lord’s Prayer that I don’t know. But I do know the word art. It’s a necessary inclusion, I think. We should all be artists. Especially if God is doing art in heaven; we should follow his example.”

It's just very scary to watch as many of your friends have already secured six-figure salaries and are going to be living in luxury next year.

― Marina Keegan, The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories
