The visible world only becomes the real world by the operation of thought
Jean Metzinger

Truly, I'm not joking when I thank my lucky stars for the awful operation I had, since it has made me young again and philosophical which means that I don't want to fritter away the new lease on life I've been given.
Henri Matisse
