ABOUT ME
I'll do this using quotations:
"In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dulled and know I had to put it on the grindstone again and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining and nothing to say, or smooth and well oiled in the closet, but unused."
--Ernest Hemingway, Preface to The First Forty-Nine Stories (1944)
"That California get-rich-quick disease of my youth spread like wildfire. It produced a civilization which has destroyed the simplicity and repose of life, its poetry, its soft romantic dreams and visions, and replaced them with a money fever, sordid ideals, vulgar ambitions and the sleep which does not refresh. It has created a thousand useless luxuries and turned them into necessities, and satisfied nothing."
-From a newspaper article by Mark Twain
"ÃÅovjeÃÂe pazi da ne ideà ¡ malen ispod zvijezda." // "Man, be careful not to go, small as thou are, under the stars."
--Antun Branko à  imiÃâ¡, "Opomena"
"Make voyages, attempt them, there is nothing else."
--Tennessee Williams, "Camino Real"
PHILOSOPHY
The only thing in life of any value is people. People and the songs and stories that make up their lives. Everything else is just decoration.
