Stephen Hawkins
If human life were long enough to find the ultimate theory, everything would have been solved by previous generations. Nothing would be left to be discovered.
It is a waste of time to be angry about my disability. One has to get on with life and I haven't done badly. People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining
Florence Nightingale
How very little can be done under the spirit of fear.
I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.
Jane Goodall
"It can seem as you look out that it's just chaos and that we behave in terrible ways and we never really seem to get better. But we have to remember that compassion and love and altruism is equally deeply rooted in our primate heritage. They are just as evident in chimpanzees as the brutal, aggressive side of chimpanzee nature. We humans, therefore, have a choice ahead of us, we don't have to go the aggressive route. We can push and push and push towards love and compassion. That is where I believe human destiny ultimately is taking us."

Material & Production Methods - Sidney Nolan
Shakespeare Sonnet-
This is an oil painting.
The image shows a much uncleared face which cannot tell its gender.
The colour of the image is dark blue with some lighter colour on the face and darker colour in the background.
The texture of the painting is very tough and vertical.
Material & Production Methods - Ricky Swallow
Untitled-The work I choose is a very nice shaped arm hang on the wall. The arm once upon a time was belong to a body and was alive but now is apart from its body which means no longer alive— cannot feel anything, do anything, contain its beauty anymore.
In Ricky Swallow’s works I always can find beauty and doleful, alive being and death together. His works show his futilitarian thoughts.
Wood is really a right material for him to use for his pieces. There are warm feelings in the wood products. Also wood is from nature. It feels closer to our feeling than metal and plastic.
Mean well, wood has some kind of character of lightness but also frozen feeling.
