authenticity is invaluable

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. if you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. and don't bother concealing your thievery-celebrate it if you feel like it. in any case, always remember what Jean Luc-Godard said, "It's not where you take things from, its where your take them to." - Jim Jarmusch

when the voice and vision on the inside become more profound and clear than the opinions on the outside,
then you have mastered your life. - stephen convoy

Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.
