Art is the product of an imperfect world. In an ideal world, art would not exist.

~ Marty Rubin

Marty Rubin Art Imperfection The Ideal The World

The IdealThis is where I came from.I passed this way.This should not be shameful Or hard to say.A self is a self. It is not a screen. A person should respectWhat he has been. This is my past Which I shall not discard. This is the ideal.This is hard.
