“…The thought is— don’t wait for things to change, the hour of man is now and, whether you are working at the bottom of the pile or on top, if you are a creative individual you will go on producing, come hell or high water. And this is the most you can hope to do. One has to go on believing in himself, whether recognized or not, whether heeded or not. The world may seem like hell on wheels— and we are doing our best, are we not, to make it so?— but there is always room, if only in one’s own soul, to create a spot of Paradise, crazy though it may sound.” Henry Miller
