.... Still I proceeded to push the limits to prove something meaningless and dumb. We had many hours before the nights events started. I remember thinking to myself that I was going to be in trouble If I didn't slow down on the liquid courage, a feeling that I was very accustomed to, but something wasn't right to night I felt a foreign feeling that I quickly dismissed and chased with another drink.

.... what will be missed out on. There is a strong sense of regret before the choice is even made and it lies in the knowledge that in one lifetime, it is impossible to travel down every path. In an attempt to make a decision, the traveler "looks down one as far as I could". The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life.

It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is going. "Then took the other, just as fair, and having p .....

With this statue, Michelangelo proved to his contemporaries that he not only surpassed all modern artists, but also the Greeks and Romans, by infusing formal beauty with powerful expressiveness and meaning. Michelangelo’s David does not make me feel a certain way. It is simply a magnificen .....

.... his only second solo show in an L.A gallery in 30 years.�These days, L.A. is recognized as a center for the production of contemporary art. But in the 1950s, the scene was slim -- few galleries and fewer museums.

Among these avant-gardists was Peter Voulkos.� In 1954, Voulkos was hired as chairman of the fledgling ceramics department at the L.A. County Art Institute, now Otis College of Art and Design, and during the five years that followed, he led what c .....

.... and the world is not absurd, but for humans to be in the world is absurd. In his opinion, humans cannot feel at home in the world because they yearn for order, clarity, meaning, and eternal life, while the world is chaotic, obscure, and indifferent and offers only suffering and death.
