This is the artist's dream:
To receive the inspiration to create,
To share that creation with others,
And to be totally supported in the process.
"It all begins with inspiration, an inspiration that calls us to create. Once the inspiration is received, then we can bring that vision into the world as a song, painting, book, invention, new business - or any other tangible form.
After the creation is born, it needs to be shared with others. No one creates in a vacuum. It is only when the vision is successfully communicated to its intended audience that it truly comes alive."

From ^ same :
"You can't expect to wield extreme executive power just cause some watery tart threw a sword at you."
(King Arthur : "Shut up!")
"I mean if i went around saying i was an emperor just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away..."
Unpleasant peaseant.

Dr. Benjamin Rush . . . Essay . . . 1786.
On education:
"It is favourable to liberty. Freedom can exist only in the society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights, and where learning is confined to a few people, liberty can be neither equal nor universal."

"You are not naked when you take off your clothes. You still wear your religious assumptions, your prejudices, your fears, your illusions, your delusions. When you shed the cultural operating system, then essentially you stand naked before the inspection of your own psyche."

Happy Easter/Passover/Whatever 
Jesus was a carpenter he died nailed to a wooden cross.
Irony oh irony upon me it is never lost.
Gather 'round now people, I'm here to tell a tale
About a man who walks among you, a man you each know well.
My name is Simon Keeper I had a wife and three grown kids,
A job in the towers cooking the books for the shills that grease the skids.
Irony oh irony, you are a bitter fruit to eat.
Stripped of all your beauty your flesh is none too sweet.
Now I ain't the most honest man that ever worked a skim.
I was caught with my hand in the cookie jar and brother that was it.
Fifty-four and a big black mark upon my resume,
I found selling off what you don't own might earn you the time of day.
Next it was a letter from my darling one,
"what's yours is mine, what's mine is mine",
Sealed with a hug and kiss.
One by one my children closed their lives to me.
Lesson learned on Daddy's knee,
"give no quarter to the weak".
Irony oh irony, you are the polar seed of truth,
You grow upon the open plain the faithful you uproot.
Kicked around 'bout a year living hand to mouth,
Then one day tryin' to bum a light I felt my will give out.
Sat right down on the corner, started prayin' a little too loud.
Left my troubles far behind
When I saw them emptying their pockets out.
Irony oh irony, you are a treacherous son of a bitch,
Pretending not to care about the heights you'll never reach.
Now I won't start in preaching 'bout reaping what you sow,
This is the story of a half-hearted man,
Half honest as they go.
But sit on down and rest a spell I've got another tale to tell.
About a lost young man in a far away land whose life is just too easy to sell.
Jesus was a carpenter he died nailed to a wooden cross.
Irony oh irony upon me it is never lost.
