In my prints I try to show that we live in a beautiful and orderly world and not in a chaos without norms, as we sometimes seem to. My subjects are also often playful. I cannot help mocking all our unwavering certainties. It is, for example, great fun deliberately to confuse two and three dimensions, the plane and space, or to poke fun at gravity. Are you sure that a floor cannot also be a ceiling? Are you absolutely certain that you go up when you walk up a staircase? Can you be definite that it is impossible to eat your cake and have it?Variant translation: I can't keep from fooling around with our irrefutable certainties. It is, for example, a pleasure knowingly to mix up two and three dimensionalities, flat and spatial, and to make fun of gravity.

The true test of one's mettle is how many times you will try before you give up.

Stephen Richards

Stan Smith

The product of the scientific imagination is a new vision of relations - like that of artistic imagination.

Edmund Wilson

I had supposed until that time that it was quite common for parents to love their children, but the war persuaded me that it is a rare exception. I had supposed that most people liked money better than almost anything else, but I discovered that they liked destruction even better. I had supposed that intellectuals frequently loved truth, but I found here again that not ten per cent of them prefer truth to popularity.

Bertrand Russell

Art is the collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better.

Andre Gide

My parents owned a soul food diner. It inspired me to go to culinary school.

Flavor Flav

My humour has always come from anger, but I have to make sure I don't just get angry and jump on a soapbox.

Carl Hiaasen

My soul is in the sky.

William Shakespeare

There is no crueler tyranny than that which is perpetuated under the shield of law and in the name of justice.

Montesquieu

The life of man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible foes, tortured by weariness and pain, towards a goal that few can hope to reach, and where none may tarry long.

Bertrand Russell

To eat bread without hope is still slowly to starve to death.
