Anita felt like she finally understood why love was symbolized by the grotesque pumping organ, always threatening to clog, or break, or attack. Because the heart was the body's engine, and love was an act of the body. Your mind could tell you who to ...
In those hours when the night is still dark and cold, we see Alokananda waking up to the faint sound of stifled sobs. The sheets besides her are creaseless, sleepless. She gets up silently, her body: blank, a patchwork of frugal impulses. She gathers...
Lando Calrissian: Yes, I said *closer*! Move as close as you can, and engage those Star Destroyers at point blank range! Admiral Ackbar: At that close range we won't last long against those Star Destroyers! Lando Calrissian: We'll last longer than we...
From my Facebook Page: "You spend the first 50 years acquiring and the second 50 years getting rid of
...that out of the quarrel with others we produce rhetoric, matter for the editorial page, while out of the quarrel with ourselves we create art.
It's amazing that a man who is dead can talk to people through these pages. As long as this books survives, his ideas live.

An open internet is an open platform for debating opposing views. It allows unpopular voices to be heard.
I believe e-courses will eventually change people's attitude toward learning. Education will play an increasingly dominant role in people's lives. For people of all ages and all geographies.

I'm not such an artist type that I can't handle the real world. I read the financial pages, because most people don't talk about art.
When I sit down to begin penciling a page, most of the hard work for me is done. I can concentrate solely on my art from that point on, which is the fun part!
