Don’t ask to be admired…that’s what I’ve heard.
It’s a lesson I’ll never learn. We share the joy of art.
If you admire my dreams, I’ll admire yours.
If we admire each other, we’ll never be bored!

“Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations, in many places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that some god inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters or priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be rational, and conform your conduct thereto.”
