Definition of a friend

Someone who says nice things about you when you aren't around

The bonds of thousands chains will vanish

When you lose all sense of self – the bonds of thousands chains will vanish…
Lose yourself completely. Return to the root of the root of your own soul.
- Rumi

I am that I am

Layer by layer I removed all I thought I was, all I thought I had to be and in the moment I was left standing naked and vulnerable without identities and labels. I remembered… I am that I am.
- Lenita Vangelis

Nothing is original...

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 – it’s where you take them to.”
- Jim Jarmusch
