"Artists of Life... Put their talents into each endeavor and their imagination into recreating their lives each day. The mature artists of life are spontaneous, accepting, flexible, receptive to new experience, suspicious of reality. They are harmonious with external forces, but autonomous, busy with the processes of inventing their own lives. They are harmonious with external forces, but autonomous, busy with the processes of inventing their own lives. They see existence as a series of choices, the selection of which they must determine, and for which they are singularly responsible. They care about, respect and appreciate the world and society in which they live and the others who cohabit it, even though they may not wholly agree with them. They believe in their own personal needs and potentialities and realize that these may often conflict with those of others, but they recognize that conflict can be a positive force for growth and change." - Personhood: The Art of Being Fully Human (Leo Buscaglia)
