An artist&#039;s only concern is to shoot for some kind of perfection, and on his own terms, not anyone else&#039;s.<br /> <br /> -J.D. Salinger


What does it mean to be happy?
What does this mean to me?
It’s a question as old as Socrates.
Is it to be carefree,
Or see the beautiful, endless sea?
Do you have to be a marquis
Or hold the city's key?
Do you have to have wealth and drink exotic tea,
Or calculate pi to the twelfth degree?
Nay, I say to be truly happy
Is just to be free.
