C'est notre responsabilité de créer la beauté oubliée par Dieu.
"Thus the rapture young Mascodagama derived from overcoming gravity was akin to that of artistic revelation in the sense utterly and naturally unknown to the innocents of critical appraisal, the social-scene commentators, the moralists, the idea-mongers and so forth."
- Vladimir Nabokov
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
"We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
"We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "
- Marianne Williamson
"Since our problems have been our own creation, they also can be overcome."
- George Harrison
In 2007 & 2008 Mascodagama participated in a worldwide challenge put on by www.rpmchallenge.com to write and record an entire album of completely original material during the month of February. In 2007 he wrote and recorded the album "Quite The Ride" and in 2008 the concept album "Inexpugnable", a 42 minute arc of human life.
