My dad used to draw these great cartoon figures. His dream was being a cartoonist but he never achieved it and it kind of broke my heart. I think part of my interest in art had to do with his yearning for something he could never have.

That man is a creature who needs order yet yearns for change is the creative contradiction at the heart of the laws which structure his conformity and define his deviancy.

There will always be a desire for something new fresh and innovative as well as a yearning and respect for timeless elegance and beauty.

If you don't die of thirst there are blessings in the desert. You can be pulled into limitlessness which we all yearn for or you can do the beauty of minutiae the scrimshaw of tiny and precise. The sky is your ocean and the crystal silence will uplift you like great gospel music or Neil Young.

Architecture should speak of its time and place but yearn for timelessness.

I hope to find the roles that are age appropriate but not yearning to be younger or parenting ad nauseam.

Every age yearns for a more beautiful world. The deeper the desperation and the depression about the confusing present the more intense that yearning.
