Fear Quote by Anonymous
“Showing is proving and proving is nothing but fear. it's our world, and all it is is a boy lighting a fire. and here is his neighbor, the neighbor girl whom he likes a lot. it's a neighborhood picture. not every artist wants to do a picture of a sex beast, but we want to. I live in the time when I live. this enables me to hide all the ugly modern buildings in london behind the rain... I feel like I'm constantly consuming myself, and spitting myself out and then there's another version of me, and then we battle it out, and whoever wins eats the other one. ...that would be my dream piece to moustache. so many upper lips!”
