“Become the artist who designs your own life. While others look at life’s straight lines—their height and depth and width—bend the lines with your imagination, turning black and white into shades of blue and yellow and a tint of controversy.”
― Franklyn James, Tones of Transition: Rebirth Through Language

H.G. Wells
“[...] My pockets had always puzzled Weena, but at the last she had concluded that they were an eccentric kind of vase for floral decoration. [...]”
― H. G. Wells, The Time Machine
