...if you only walk long enough!


"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh you can't help that," said the Cat "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
"Would you tell me please which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where --" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
" — so long as I get SOMEWHERE," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat "if you only walk long enough."

Curly

"Having curly hair makes me taller, more literary and better in bed. Perhaps not everyone agrees with me, like, say, my husband and the 500 men I dated before him who dumped me. But forget that. I know it’s true."
About curly hair in a funny, yet deep kinda way...
[The New York Times]

Love,
Tina.

Good artists borrow, Great artists steal

[Pablo Picasso]

__
...not that I appreciate copying or stealing, but because I so understand the blank page syndrome.
And if artistic creation flourishes from nothing, I wonder why we waited so many centuries to reach the artistic/ scientific/ development point where we are today.
