don't bend

Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to fashion.  Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. -Franz Kafka

A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts.  -Joshua Reynolds

Art is the means by which we communicate what it feels like to be alive.  -Anthony Gormley

Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing. -Georgia O'keefe

A person's life purpose is nothing more than to rediscover, through the detours of art, or love, or passionate work, those one or two images in the presence of which his heart first opened.  Albert Camus
