Sometimes there is no darker place than our thoughts,

the moonless midnight of the mind.

De Young Museum-Fine Arts Museum in San Francisco

I respect individualities and I like particularities.

I mix and match, collect, twist, and crossbreed codes.

Past, present,

here, elsewhere,

masculine, feminine,

remarkable, humdrum-it all coexists.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

“The eyes see only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.” – Henri Bergson

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” – John Lennon

“It’s spring fever… You don’t quite know what it is you DO want, it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” - Mark Twain

I love Paris in the spring time
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles

I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris, why oh why do I love Paris
Because my love is here

I Love Paris by FRANK SINATRA

“Being happy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means you have decided to look beyond the imperfections.”- Author unknown

When I was 5 years old

my mother always told me

that happiness was the key to life.

When I went to school,

 they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.

I wrote down “happy”.

They told me I didn’t understand the assignment,

 and I told them they didn’t understand life.

JOHN LENNON
