"If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, will answer you: I am here to live out loud." Émile Zola


"I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls." Anaïs Nin

"A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament." Oscar Wilde

"Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art." Maya Angelou
