[Quote No.669] Need Area: Fun > Art
"An artist once painted a muddy river. When the artist heard that one critic had stated that the picture had too much mud in it, he replied that to him he didn't see the mud so much; rather he saw a peaceful river making its gentle way through the countryside, making the land about it fruitful. So much of life depends on what you focus on." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com
