Catherine Coleman on Photography

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

Photography is not a pure art. It was born a bastard and it changes all the time through its relationships with chemical, optical and electronic industry.

About Love: Apostles, Angel Michael and The Beatles

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

- Remember what John and Paul said.

- The Apostles?

- No, The Beatles: “All you need is love.”

Michael, The Movie

Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own (will), is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Apostle Paul

We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.

John Lennon

We Are Who We Are Because of Our Choices

Monday, March 12th, 2007

April issue of Art Calendar magazine arrived to my mailbox. Usually I spent 2 minutes browsing it but today I found a gem: an article “Choices” by Jack White. I could not help but to make some quotes for myself:

Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to circumstances. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: it’s your choice how you live your life.

We are who we are because of our choices.

Today is the tomorrow you fretted about yesterday.

People can only hurt us if we give them permission.

There us no sin in failing. The sin is in staying down.
