About Me


Click the image above to become a vampire.
"Bah! The thing is not a nose at all, but a bit of primordial chaos clapped on to my face."
-H. G. Wells
"Not Chaos, not the darkest pit of lowest Erebus, nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out by help of dreams - can breed such fear and awe as fall upon us often when we look into our Minds, into the Mind of Man."
-William Wordsworth
"The question of sexual dominance can exist only in the nightmare of that soul which has armed itself, totally, against the possibility of the changing motion of conquest and surrender, which is love."
-James A. Baldwin
"Every woman is a rebel, and usually in a wild revolt against herself."
-Oscar Wilde
"It's clever, but is it Art?"
-Rudyard Kipling
"Everything that is strong in me has gone into my art work."
-Robert Crumb
"If anybody says he can think about quantum physics without getting giddy, that only shows he has not understood the first thing about them."
-Niels Bohr
"To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit."
Stephen Hawking
"All art is exorcism. I paint dreams and visions too; the dreams and visions of my time. Painting is the effort to produce order; order in yourself. There is much chaos in me, much chaos in our time."
-Otto Dix
"The open society, the unrestricted access to knowledge, the unplanned and uninhibited association of men for its furtherance - these are what may make a vast, complex, ever growing, ever changing, ever more specialized and expert technological world, nevertheless a world of human community."
-J. Robert Oppenheimer
"The object of art is to give life a shape. "
-William Shakespeare
"Only the dead have seen the end of the war."
-Plato
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science."
-Albert Einstein
"To hold a pen is to be at war."
-Voltaire
"We have art in order not to die of the truth."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
"To me art in order to be truly great must, like the beauty of Nature, be universal in its appeal. It must be simple in its presentation and direct in its expression, like the language of Nature."
-Mohandas Gandhi
