I am convinced I might add, that the aesthetic criterion does not come from God but from the devil. In paradise no distinction was made between ugliness and beauty.” ~ Milan Kundera

He finds his real tone and develops a simple and effective style.” ~ Jorge Luis Borges
- “Such is the condition of life that something is always wanting to happiness. In youth we have warm hopes, which are soon blasted by rashness and negligence, and great designs which are defeated by inexperience.

Johnson

When it starts to cut into that, it’s kind of defeating the purpose. So that’s where I draw the line.” ~ John Wes Townley
