| ^^ That's beautiful. I really like that one. "If you long for things artistic, If you revel in the nebulous and mystic, If your hair's too long And your tie's all wrong And your speech is symbolistic, If your tastes are democratic, And your mode of life's essentially erratic, If you seek success From no fixed address But you sleep in someone's attic, Join the Arts Club, Join the Arts Club." That was on my studio wall for years, but unfortunately I lost it and the explanation that went with it. From what I recall, it was from an ad promoting a late 19th-century art league somewhere in the U.K. If I find that paper again, I'll edit in the more specific source info. It's gotta be in my studio somewhere... | |

| This one is from my writing teacher in college. He was very funny. To explain he is a black male and we were talking about white people wearing their hats backwards.
"If there is anything I hate more then being assosiated with a stereotype, it's other people trying to steal my stereotype." - Prof. Walters | |

| "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." Abraham Lincoln
What would he think? If he could see how all of the last centuries' presidents, as well as our most recent leaders, have done everything they could to cast our nation into endless wars, so that bankers and an oligarchy who hold the world prisoner by debt and business could choke the freedom from its people in the name of patriotism. Abe would agree that we haven't had a good leader in decades, only a string of role players.

| “Mexicans are a band of illiterate Indians."
“The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations.”
Che Guevara
