A good painting to me has always been like a friend. It keeps me company, comforts and inspires.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

“Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.”

“When you have no winds, take to the oars.”

The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kinds.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering.
