A hit proves you can hunt. You can bring something to fruition. Never forget that’s your job. You’re expected to do it again

May your choices reflect your hopes not your fears

Half this game is taste. The other half is having the stomach to bet on it when nobody else in the room hears what you hear

God's timing might be sooner than you think. Be ready.

Your art is a reflection of your inner world. The more you understand yourself, the more powerful your expression becomes.

Life is strange. You arrive with nothing, spend your whole life chasing everything, and still leave with nothing. Make sure your soul gains more than your hands.
