Podcast Quotes:

• “….at some moment I did answer Yes to Someone, or Something, and from that hour I was certain that existence is meaningful and that, therefore, my life, in self-surrender, had a goal.” Dag Hammarskjold
• “Art isn’t only a painting. Art is anything that’s creative, passionate, and personal. And great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator.

  An artists is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artists takes it personally.
