You want two breasts? Well, here you are — two breasts. We must see to it that the man looking at the picture has at hand everything he needs to paint a nude. If you really give him everything he needs — and the best — he’ll put everything where it belongs, with his own eyes. Each person will make for himself the kind of nude he wants, with the nude that I will have made for him.
- Pablo Picasso

At sunrise I fight to stay asleep, ’cause I don’t want to leave the comfort of this place, ’cause there’s a hunger, a longing to escape, from the life I live when I’m awake.”
