For a long time I wanted to draw, but I could never get the proportions right. My still life sketches were the artistic equivalent of someone who has misjudged the space constraints of a postcard, the handwriting shrinking uncomfortably at the bottom.
Sloane Crosley
Image
The creation and destruction of harmonic and 'statistical' tensions is essential to the maintenance of compositional drama.

Frank Zappa
Image

John McCain
Image

Napoleon Hill
Image
ALL THOUGHTS WHICH HAVE BEEN EMOTIONALIZED, (given feeling) AND MIXED WITH FAITH, begin immediately to translate themselves into their physical equivalent or counterpart.

Image
