I’m a perfect imperfection
My craft has been perfected
I just need affection
Emotionally, I’ma introvert but it comes off as aggression.

I’ve got to get back to the typewriter, I thought. Art takes discipline. Any asshole can chase a skirt. I drank, thinking about it.

Hell is a closed door when you’re starving for your goddamned art but sometimes you feel at least like having a peek through the keyhole. Young or old, good or bad, I don’t think anything dies as slow and as hard as a writer.

great writers are indecent people
they live unfairly
saving the best part for paper.

good human beings save the world
so that bastards like me can keep creating art,
become immortal.
if you read this after I am dead
it means I made it.

In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.

In a room full of art, I would still stare at you.

The oration of poetry, I consider to be its own art form and tradition.

God is the ultimate Master of all Arts. For He made Creation without any reference to any previous formation.

Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.

En-Joo: Hey! Knock that shit off!
Reese: En-Joo don’t like the arts?
Diaz: En-Joo don’t like shit.
En-Joo: I like your sister, Diaz.
Diaz: She’s got a thing for retards.

I remembered my New
Orleans days, living on two five-cent candy bars a day for weeks at a time in order to have leisure to
write. But starvation, unfortunately, didn’t improve art. It only hindered it. A man’s soul was rooted in
his stomach. A man could write much better after eating a porterhouse steak and drinking a pint of
whiskey than he could ever write after eating a nickel candy bar.

“How to do it” will never create an Art, it will never shake the old skin, it will never get us out of here.

To do a dull thing with style – now that’s what I call art.

Thank God I have seen an orange sky with purple clouds. How easy it is to forget that we have the privilege of living in God’s art gallery.

The things that are not easy for me to talk about and express, I express through my music. I’m just very serious about my art.

I like to learn. That’s an art and a science.

Barbering is the art of creating without an eraser.

A barber transforms you into a gentleman.

Each of us is a masterpiece of God’s creation.

We are God’s productions, His compositions.

Nature is the art of God.

In the absence of sleep, my restless nights have been fueled by my overactive imagination, weaving waking dreams onto the canvas of conception. Filling my head with lots of ideas waiting to be born into reality. I am eager to return to my beautiful mistress, Creation!

It’s not worth staying up all night just to paint masterpieces.

Insomnia is the act of pushing through sleep to achieve the art of insane creativity.

Cutting hair is an art, not just a craft. Like any form of art, there is a learning curve and uncharted territory that every barber encounters along the way.

From the first time I sat in an old-fashioned barber’s chair, to my first (and every) haircut since that day, I’ve been fascinated by the art that is barbering.

God’s creation is the greatest of all arts.

Barbers are the artist whose drawing on someone’s head become the trend and fashion.

When I was a barber, me being extreme was how I got popular: you name it, I was drawing it on someone’s head.

I did study the art of being a barber because I wanted to figure out what my routine would be. Do you start in the front or back? Top or bottom? Swivel the chair or walk around? What I did discover is there’s no such thing as the perfect haircut!

Whether it’s a pebble in a riverbed or a soaring mountain peak, I see everything in the world as the handiwork of the Lord. When I paint, I try to represent the beauty of God’s creation in my art. Many modern painters see the world as a jumble of random lines and shapes with no divine beauty or order, and their works reflect their viewpoint. Because I see God’s peacefulness, serenity, and contentment, I work to capture those feelings on the canvas. My vision of God defines my vision of the world.

The very word authority has within it the word author. An author is someone who creates and possesses a particular work. Insofar as God is the foundation of all authority, He exercises that foundation because He is the author and the owner of His creation. He is the foundation upon which all other authority stands or falls.

Decent cookout, April. I don’t believe you’ve met my f**k buddy, Tracey. She’s actually a professional runway model. She’s also a very, very famous painter in France. Yup, she has several works of fine art hanging up in the Loove-ray.
