“Art should be studied, not worshipped. Artworks should be preserved that they may help us, not that they may amaze and confound us. Above all, we should study them with the purpose of learning from them.”

“Everyone lied about the dinosaurs in the museums: to date they have misled us, or possibly they just do not know … but there you will find, in the corridors, or with loose bones collected - or assembled - remnants of dragons.
Yes, many of them breathed fire and flew the skies, dragons were everywhere, and now, hidden in plain sight: those which we now call dinosaurs.
Fossils, reptiles, serpents, exotic configurations, archived, displayed: a tangle of spine without the dressing, and, without the truth.”
― AZLANDER - Finding Self: Second Guesses
