i'm not mad
copy and paste and keep it in my mind from Paulo Coelho blog
Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.
Have no fear of perfection-you’ll never reach it. Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.
The first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was a poet; the first to repeat it was an idiot.
The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.
At the age of six years I wanted to be a chef. At the age of seven I wanted to be Napoleon. My ambitions have continued to grow at the same rate ever since. Every morning when I awake, the greatest of joys is mine: that of being Salvador Dali. There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.
I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.
Many people do not reach their eighties because they spend too much time in their forties.
The only difference between me and a madman is that I am not mad.

Every one has a story.
after reads problems-and-belly-beer i read a lovely comment from danceswithcrayons
"An amazing flower garden, birds singing.
Unique!
Every one has a story. Appreciates different things.
Has wounds.
Laughter.
Patience.
Faith.
Compassion, understanding.
Enjoying life.
I really try to be patient because everyone has a story, and don’t know what others wounds, scabs or scars are – on the inside. In this picture, although probably meant as humor, is also man with a story.
LOVE is incredibly healing.
And with love, I have the potential to improve, grow and become better.
Work on ‘me’!"
