I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares, as opposed to ugly things. That's my intent.
— Saul Bass

I wouldn't hurt them physically or emotionally, how then can people so consistently do it to me? Even my parents treat me like I'm stupid and inferior and ever short. I guess I'll never measure up to anyone's expectations. I surely don't measure up to what I'd like to be.
My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around. I don't have to have too much technique for it.

If I am capable of grasping God objectively, I do not believe, but precisely because I cannot do this I must believe.
