A big audience is a big responsibility, so is a small one.

 

Today I plan to do a speech in a way I have never done before. Just like last time. And the time before that.

Art is simply embracing anything in life differently than traditionally established norms.

There is nothing more valuable to us than time.

Writing takes time.

So does living.

Makes sense to strive to do them both well.
