Joshua Reynolds"Whatever you think you can do or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, grace and power in it." Goethe
"Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no-one to blame" Erica Jong
"The centre that I cannot find, is known to my unconscious mind" W H Auden
"A picture lives by companionship, expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive observer. It dies by the same token" Mark Rothko
