Picasso and his dachshund, Lump

Lump, he’s not a dog, he’s not a little man, he’s somebody else.— Picasso

There’s a whole book about these two, and, of course, the print.

Many films diminish us. They cheapen us, masturbate our senses, hammer us with shabby thrills, diminish the value of life. Some few films evoke the wonderment of life’s experience, and those I consider a form of prayer. Not prayer “to” anyone or anything, but prayer “about” everyone and everything. I believe prayer that makes requests is pointless. What will be, will be. But I value the kind of prayer when you stand at the edge of the sea, or beneath a tree, or smell a flower, or love someone, or do a good thing. Those prayers validate existence and snatch it away from meaningless routine.

Aaron has been in a wheelchair since he was 3. He landed his first backflip when he was 14 and his first double backflip when he was 18.

Accepting artificial limitations is for suckers.

You can do more than you think.

Stop making excuses.
