One does odd things. You see, when one's young one doesn't feel part of it yet, the human condition; one does things because they are not “for good”; one thinks everything is a rehearsal - to be repeated ad lib, to be put right when the curtain goes up in earnest. One day you know that the curtain was up all the time. That was the performance. — Sybille Bedford

One paradox I have found is that, the more you use computers in picture-making, the more hand-made the picture becomes.

John flung himself into a pseudo-karate stance, one hand poised behind him and one in front, posed like a cartoon cactus.
