"Life is like art. You have to work hard to keep it simple and still have meaning." ― Charles de Lint Topic(s): Art More From Charles de Lint "The beginning of a friendship, the fact that two people out of the thousands around them can meet and connect and become friends, seems like a kind of magic to me. But maintaining a friendship requires work. I don’t mean that as a bad thing. Good art requires work as well." "One expected growth, change; without it, the world was less, the well of inspiration dried up, the muses fled." "I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile."

Music is immediate, it goes on to become."― W. H. Auden "Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it."― Dwight D. Eisenhower
