As far as we are complete as persons and artists, we express what is important in our lives. Sometimes that is drawn from the local, and sometimes from the remote and exotic.

(Oscar Wilde)
A tulip doesn't strive to impress anyone. It doesn't struggle to be different from a rose. It doesn't have to. It is different. And there's room in the garden for every flower. (Marianne Williamson)
