Frida Kahlo on inspiration

I am not sick. I am broken. But I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.

They thought I was a Surrealist, but I wasn’t. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it, we go nowhere.

Carl Sagan1934–1996Cosmos (1980), p. 4

Keep your fears to yourself, but share your inspiration with others.
