When you say it cannot be done~someone went out and did it

Interesting his comments about teachers making him feel small, that he was stupid.And that he was a lonely 5 year old building houses for ants.It shows that people really need to grasp there are numerous learning styles. And how many potentially genuises have been squash because of someone's opinion that it cannot be done.

Wiords are indeed powerful.

This artist who cannot read or write recently sod his collection for 20 million dollars. I think it is poetic justice.


Made me think of these quotes:

Art is the stored honey of the human soul, gathered on wings of misery and travail. ~Theodore Dreiser, Life, Art, and America, 1917

The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep. ~Paul Strand

Let us be thankful for the fools. But for them the rest of us could not succeed.~Mark Twain
