‎'I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particuarly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is almost indestructible.' John Steinbeck, East of Eden

‎"People get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave."

“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.”     - Jim Jarmusch
