In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love. -Marc chagall

"To awaken each morning with a smile brightening my face;
to greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains;
to approach my work with a clean mind;
to hold ever before me, even in the doing of little things, the ultimate purpose toward which I am working;
to meet men and women with laughter on my lips and love in my heart;
to be gentle, kind, and courteous through all the hours;
to approach the night with weariness that ever woos sleep and the joy that comes from work well done -
this is how I desire to waste wisely my days."
Thomas Dekker (c 1570 - c. 1641)

“As women,

many of us have been taught to be too cautious,

too nice,

and to play it too safe.

That overly conservative style may inhibit the emergence of your creative self.”
