The atoms of our bodies are traceable to stars that manufactured them in their cores and exploded these enriched ingredients across our galaxy, billions of years ago. For this reason, we are biologically connected to every other living thing in the world. We are chemically connected to all molecule…
The Raft of the Medusa is a historic painting with a tragic true story behind it, carrying an inspirational revolutionary message that went against the expected norm of the time. It was painted by Théodore Géricault with a massive 5x7 meters in size, and it took him close to 2 years to complete. It…
I wanted very much to learn to draw, for a reason that I kept to myself: I wanted to convey an emotion I have about the beauty of the world. It’s difficult to describe because it’s an emotion. It’s analogous to the feeling one has in religion that has to do with a god that controls everything in th…
So I was just searching for new songs to test out my new earphones, and I came across a very beautiful choir song, and it apparently has a very interesting story behind it as well. “Miserere Mei, Deus” (Have Mercy On Me, o God) is a song composed by Gregorio Allegri in the early 1600’s for the excl…
Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching…
If you can’t fly then run, If you can’t run then walk, If you can’t walk then crawl, But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward. -Martin Luther King Jr.- Stagnation is the enemy of progress. Sometimes we lose sight of our goals and feel like we’re not going anywhere, this feeling of futil…
An interviewer once asked Stanley Kubrick a question, “If life is so purposeless, do you feel like it’s worth living?” He answered, “Yes, for those who manage somehow to cope with our mortality.” The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning, Children, of course, begin life…
Never play to the gallery. Never work for other people at what you do. Always remember that the reason you initially started working, was that there was something inside yourself that you felt that if you could manifest it in some way, you would understand more about yourself, and how you coexist w…
Western culture has things a little backwards right now. We think that if we had every comfort available to us… We’d be happy. We equate comfort with happiness. And now we’re so comfortable we’re miserable. There’s no struggle in our lives. No sense of adventure. We get in a car, we get in an eleva…

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one…
You will ask me where I get my ideas, that I cannot tell you with certainty. They come unsummoned, directly, indirectly -I could seize them with my hands- out in the open air, in the woods while walking.. In the silence of the nights, early in the morning. Incited by moods, which are translated by…
