“To my mind, a picture should be something pleasant,
cheerful, and pretty, yes pretty!
There are too many unpleasant things in life as it is
without creating still more of them.”
― Pierre-Auguste Renoir

“It’s the hard things that break; soft things don’t break.
It was an epiphany I had today
and I just wonder why it took me so very, very long to see it!

You can waste so many years of your life
trying to become something hard in order not to break;
but it’s the soft things that can’t break!
The hard things are the ones that shatter into a million pieces!”
― C. JoyBell C.
