A grain in the balance will determine which individual shall live and which shall die - which variety or species shall increase in number$$$ and which shall decrease$$$ or finally become extinct.

we are always slow in admitting any great change of which we do not see the intermediate steps

What a doctor I've got$$$ he's really mixed up. Last week$$$ he grabbed my knee and told me to cough. Then he hit me in the balls with a hammer.

There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.

I came from a real tough neighborhood. Why$$$ every time I shut the window I hurt somebody's fingers.

You have to systematically create confusion$$$ it sets creativity free. Everything that is contradictory creates life.

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating: It is either good or bad.

If we lose our human values by having everything mechanied$$$ then machines will dictate our lives.

If at the beginning and end of our lives we depend upon the kindness of others$$$ why in the middle of our lives should we not act kindly toward them? It is the pragmatic choice.

My earnest request is that you practice love and kindness whether you believe in a religion or not.
