A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.

About Me

"The only one who can open Pandora's box with impunity is the artist. Because when he has emptied the box of one illusion, he can create another and replenish it with new material."
-Anais Nin

"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult."
-Seneca
