Once something has outlived its usefulness in one area of life, its purpose for being in existence is no longer the same.

The counterculture has nothing to do with Dolce & Gabbana having a 'Hippy Summer' or something.

I'm working on a snow scene right now, and it's summer. It's hot, and I will get chilly. I'll have to turn on the heat. My wife walks in, and it's 95 degrees in the studio. I know it's nutty, but it's a projection you have where you step into the painting.
Thomas Kinkade

Wife, Snow, Working

It is a good rule never to see or talk to the man whose words have wrung your heart, or helped it, just as it is wise not to look down too closely at the luminous glow which sometimes shines on your path on a summer night, if you would not see the ugly worm below.
Rebecca Harding Davis

Good, Wise, Heart

Michael J. Owen

Judge, End, Game

After the navy, I transferred to Harvard and finished there. I was there the spring term of 1951 and I stayed through the summer term and a whole other year, so I was able to do two years in a little less than a year and a half.

Randy Harrison

Rian Johnson

Art, Movies, Fun

Love, Music, Different
