Picture Quotes great artists can be uncertain. Of course they are while strugggling to find solutions. Tolstoi's scripts are almost indecipherable.

What they wanted was something newly experienced, and therefore unknown and hard to attain. —Agnes de MilleWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you begin to die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess.
