"A fitting tribute to a tumultuous yet triumphant story, encouraging all of us to think twice about what we are capable of accomplishing, regardless of our personal barriers."

"Follow your bliss. Find where it is, and don't be afraid to follow it."

- Joseph Campbell in The Power of Myth #

"Art is never finished, only abandoned"

- Leonardo da Vinci ("metinks")

"Those born with a talent will derive the greatest pleasure in using it."

"Everyone has some talent. What's rare is the courage to follow it to the dark places where it may lead (leads)."

# More great quotes (words of inspiration and upliftment) by Joseph Campbell

"Follow your bliss. If you do follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn't have opened for anyone else."

"Life has no meaning. Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life. It is a waste to be asking the question when you are the answer."

"We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us."

"If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be."

All proceeds go to a local charity (most worthy) - HER!

"All our dreams can come true...if we have the desire (burning), determination, courage, passion, persistence and patience* to pursue them (and it's often through the very dark places where they may lead)...long enough."
