“If you want to know what true art is: Go outside on a clear night, wait until it gets very, very dark, then look up! You will see no rules of composition, no evidence of superior technique.

You keep marching, and you keep looking.” IfsTryingLooksGirlBornLinesBoysMinutesFiguresDatingWork OutPassingPassingsStaringMutualMarchGet BackParadesBoy And GirlInspection Author:Paul Reiser
