Quote of the Day
“I don't know any other way to live but to wake up every day armed with my convictions, not yielding them to the threat of danger and to the power and force of people who might despise me.”
“Those who tell you “Do not put too much politics in your art” aren’t being honest. If you look very carefully you will see that they are the same people who are quite happy with the situation as it is”
