“However one must ask not just, is it amusing, is it exciting, but is it a work of art?
Iris Murdoch, The Black Prince

“Find what nourishes you
on the inside and out.
What lights you up and
makes you feel alive.
Build your world around it,
nothing else is more important.
This is your revolution and
your ultimate evolution.”
Susan Bocinec Terry, Moods and Musings
