Wealth Inequality in America

It is by becoming familiar with the inventions of others that one learns, in art, to invent oneself.

In this lifetime how will you use the power in your voice? Will you give back to the world what you receive, or are you just taking?

-- Lady Gaga

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.

I found Edward's blog via a search for a "Rules of a Creator's Life" image.  His version was listed among the search results.  I like it.

I also like the fact that Edward's blog states that he is a guy following his bliss.

And we've been on a journey. And the debate has raged, hasn't it, since the Greeks, of isn't it what it's all about? Isn't life about the journey, not really the destination? And here we've been on this journey, and the truth is, it's been thrilling. We haven't reached that other shore, and still our sense of pride and commitment, unwavering commitment. When I turned 60, the dream was still alive from having tried this in my 20s, and dreamed it and imagined it.

-- Diana Nyad

I like this quote only because it contains the words "unwavering commitment", something that Mihály Csíkszentmihályi referred to his book "Flow" as essential to a life full of optimal experience.

EVERYBODY LOVES BANKSY

Aujourd’hui nul besoin d’aller à l’université, de se balader avec son portfolio, de faire de la lèche aux galeries et leurs nuées de prétentieux, pas besoin non plus de coucher avec quelqu’un d’influent. Tout ce qu’il vous faut c’est quelques idées et une connexion haut débit. Pour la première fois le monde bourgeois de l’art appartient au peuple. Il s’agit d’en faire quelque chose.

En ce qui me concerne, la seule chose qui vaille la peine d’être vu dans la plupart des musées ce sont les étudiantes en arts plastiques.

L’esprit n’est jamais aussi vif que lorsqu’on est paranoïaque. Le cerveau explore toutes les possibilités, toutes les alternatives d’une situation donnée. Et tout cela en restant alerte et clair.
