“Art imitates Nature, and Necessity is the Mother of Invention.”

“Important lessons: look carefully; record what you see. Find a way to make beauty necessary; find a way to make necessity beautiful.”

“I know you'll think this odd, but I find it strangely exhilarating not knowing what's coming next.”
