Kinkade's paintings are worthless schmaltz, and the lamestream media that love him are wrong. However, I'd love to see a museum mount a small show of Kinkade's work. I would like the art world and the wider world to argue about him in public, out in the open.

Dennis Brown

Example moves the world more than doctrine. The great exemplars are the poets of action, and it makes little difference whether they be forces for good or forces for evil.

Henry Miller

Whenever we encounter the Infinite in man, however imperfectly understood, we treat it with respect.

Robert Collier

To live in joy and fully manifest our true potential, we must let go of our desires and attachment to the past and the future and be excited about living in the unknown.

Eliza Mada Dalian

Havelock Ellis

Setting a good example for your children takes all the fun out of middle age.

William Feather

Having money is a way of being free of money.

Albert Camus
