The Certainty of Chance is a question of Time

 

“Uncertainty is a temptress. We may try our best to avoid her. But what is certain is that at some point of time, she will find us. The only question that remains is whether like Medusa, she will paralyze you, or whether like one of the nine muses of ancient Greece, she will drive you to greater things.”

I hate mondays by Bansky

Obedecer ao seu génio ou às suas insuficiências

"Para aquele que produz não há nenhuma prova mais séria do que procurar reconhecer se o que, de um passo para outro, o coage e previne é o seu verdadeiro génio ou a voz pusilânime das suas insuficiências: se, ao adquirir a forma, obedece ao que nele há de mais elevado ou de mais baixo."

Não sai barato ter uma boa imagem de perfil

Pois é, meus amigos, custou-me exatamente $43.202.500 ( $38.500.000 + IVA) ou seja, quase 34 milhões de euros ao câmbio atual. Agora estou sem dinheiro. Falido. Mas valeu a pena. :)


Reparem no momento de ironia suprema quando o leiloeiro diz o nome da obra de arte "I Can See the Whole Room... and There's Nobody in it!".
Os presentes riem-se, pensando "ahah a sala está cheia!"


De facto, a sala está cheia de gente mas não está ninguém.
