Erykah Badu

But ultimately I do not believe that she was only matter. The rest of her must be recycled, too. I believe now that we are greater than the sum of our parts. If you take Alaska's genetic code and you add her life experiences and the relationships she had with people, and then you take the size and shape of her body, you do not get her.

Jamie Farr

Art requires philosophy, just as philosophy requires art. Otherwise, what would become of beauty?

Paul Gauguin

Time tries truth.

Proverb

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion.

Nelson Mandela
