WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE INANIMATE OBJECT? If a painting is an inanimate object, then a painting - but because I´m not so sure, probably a bathtub ^^.
“Don’t be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say yes.”

Ideas I don´t want to forget XD. It´s not so easy to explain this XD…it´s an idea that came to my mind while reading the biography of Karoline von Günderode, a romantic poet. Her best friend was the little sister of the gentleman on the right: This is/should be Clemens Brentano, who wanted her, but she didn´t want him (which was incredible, because he was quite the womanizer). He wrote her feverish erotic letters (and according to the author he did it in spite or even because of spite XD. Whatever ^^). Whatever…I had the idea, he would have gotten along quite good with Byron, wouldn´t he? But they never met, as far as I know, although in theory, that would have been possible. So that comic came to my mind, I will never draw, as far as I know myself XD…but perhaps just a few pictures of it XD.
“I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till i drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.”
- Jack Kerouac
“Be not the slave of your own past - plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far, so you shall come back with new self-respect, with new power, and with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.”
