&ldquo;Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there&#039;s a tomorrow.

Life beats down and crushes the soul but art reminds you that you have one. -Stella Adler<br /> He who lives upon hope will die fasting.<br /> -Benjamin Franklin<br /> If you&#039;re absent during my struggle. Don&#039;t expect to be present during my success.
