#Freedom

"Love myself I do. Not everything, but I love the good as well as the bad. I love my crazy lifestyle, and I love my hard discipline. I love my freedom of speech and the way my eyes get dark when I'm tired. I love that I have learned to trust people with my heart, even if it will get broken. I am proud of everything that I am and will become."

"I consider myself a stained-glass window. And this is how I live my life. Closing no doors and covering no windows; I am the multi-colored glass with light filtering through me, in many different shades. Allowing light to shed and fall into many many hues.

"The truth will set you free. But not until it is finished with you."

"Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others."

"Art is the daughter of freedom."

"À ceux qui ignorent, enseignez-leur [...]Le coupable n'est pas celui qui y fait le péché, mais celui qui y a fait l'ombre."

"There are no categories in contemporary art. There are no rules. Artists are given the freedom to make and create whatever they please and call it whatever they please. I identify with that system, or lack of system, much more than I do the landscape of contemporary publishing."

"Liberty without Learning is always in peril and Learning without Liberty is always in vain."

"I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few."

"The only real battle in life is between hanging on and letting go."
