Margo’s beauty was a kind of sealed vessel of perfection – uncracked and uncrackable.

Flee from such despondency, my children! There is only one salvation for you: take yourself up, and make yourself responsible for the sins of men.

lonely art past
Too often in the past, we have thought of the artist as an idler and dilettante and of the lover of arts as somehow sissy and effete. We have done both an injustice. The life of the artist is, in relation to his work, stern and lonely. He has labored hard, often amid deprivation, to perfect his skill. He has turned aside from quick success in order to strip his vision of everything secondary or cheapening. His working life is marked by intense application and intense discipline. John F. Kennedy

lonely loneliness thinking
I didn't think I was in a morbid mood, but it appears I am. My mind goes round and round trying to figure things out, but I always come back to the same two things: Loneliness and Death.
