Bad artists copy. Good artists steal. - Pablo Picasso “A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts” “Birds scream at the top of their lungs in horrified hellish rage every morning at daybreak to warn us all of the truth, but sadly we don't speak bird.” ― Kurt Cobain When we are born, we cry, that we are come to this great stage of fools. “He who has a one-track mind, his train of thought often becomes derailed” People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one. ~Leo J. Burke "Elk van ons is een eiland, omsloten door verraderlijk water." ~Louis Paul Boon "The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."~ Douglas MacArthur Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you. ~Maori Proverb "How beauty varies in nature and art. In a woman the flesh must be like marble; in a statue the marble must be like flesh."~Victor Hugo War does not determine who is right - only who is left.  ~Bertrand Russell "There's beauty in the silver singing river, There's beauty in the sunrise in the sky, But none of these and nothing else can match the beauty, That I remember in my true love's eyes” ~Bob Dylan "There's a graveyard in northern France where all the dead boys from D-Day are buried. The white crosses reach from one horizon to the other. I remember looking it over and thinking it was a forest of graves. But the rows were like this, dizzying, diagonal, perfectly straight, so after all it wasn't a forest but an orchard of graves. Nothing to do with nature, unless you count human nature.”~Barbara Kingsolver (American Writer) “People don't come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.” ~Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (American Writer, b.1922) There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs ~Dwight D. Eisenhower “And so I am become a knight of the Kingdom of Dreams and Shadows!” ~Mark Twain Jean-Marie Slegers on 500px
