Able Quote by Guido Molinari
“I choose color on the spur of the moment. People ask me why I paint in red. I do not have the slightest idea. I was painting in blue, then I had a need to paint in red. To be able to interact with the medium, this is the key. There are no sure ways to do art.”

![“[Research] suggests that what we think of as free will is largely an illusion: much of the time, we are simply operating on automatic pilot, and the way we think and act – and how well we think and act on the spur of the moment – are a lot more susceptible to outside influences than we realize.” quote by Malcolm Gladwell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8f7/malcolm-gladwell-348_free-will_research-suggests-that-what-we-think-of_133351.jpg)
