No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.” ~ Oscar Wilde
Deliver me from writers who say the way they live doesn’t matter. I’m not sure a bad person can write a good book, If art doesn’t make us better, then what on earth is it for.” ~ Alice Walker

Exclusive, heartbreaking photos from the Lorraine motel on the day Martin Luther King died. (see more here)

Pictured: Theatrice Bailey attempts to clean blood from the balcony, hours after the 6 p.m. shooting.

“I don’t know if there were official people around taking notes and pictures and things like that. Nobody was there when we were there. And the fact that the blood was still on the floor, and this man is actually putting it in a jar … When you see a picture like that, God, it feels invasive.”

Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes … the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. … You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. … They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”  ~ Apple Commercial, 1997
