Oct 7, 2008 - I found some other quotes of this wonderful artist:-) Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again. -) Great things are done by a series of small things brought together. -) Happiness... it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. -) I dream of painting and then I paint my dream. good stuff, huh?well, check out the exhibition in the albertina, vienna!!I was there - it's awesome!!!

Oct 7, 2008 - u know, mental illness, well maybe he was ill... however i Must say so many of us @ least some of my youtube friends see so much... so maybe SOME would say we that see others pain, feel so much, highly sensitive are mentally ill... i think our world would be far better if we could all see deeper into others, care, feel their pain (difficult as it is)... because then this world would not be so darn nasty! i get it

Oct 7, 2008 - This is the last thing the late great Tupac Amaru Shakur heard before going into a coma that would lead to his death, September 13th 1996.His girlfreind woke him and she said "Im putting a tape in for you. You know i love you right?" he said "yes, thank you." and fell into an eternal sleep. RIP tupac amaru shakur.
