Aspirations must be pure and free of selfishness.

A person without aspirations is like a ship without a rudder or a horse without a bridle. Aspirations give consistent order to life.

Mas Oyama

About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs.
