Everything I've done before the age of seventy is not worth bothering with

 HOKUSAI

I'm still pondering about something he said: ‘Until the age of 70, nothing I drew was worthy of notice. When I reach 80 years I hope to have made increasing progress, and at 90 to see further into the underlying principles of things, so that at 100 years I will have achieved a divine state in my art and at 110 every dot and every stroke will be as though alive.’ I love this mentality of continuously growing and learning, because it shows that age is not a limit when it comes to developing oneself; quite the contrary.

My wife just asked me who Sheena is and I said she's a punk rocker

I wish my remaining days could be transported back to those Happy Days!

RODIN 's

 story is an old fashioned "rags to riches" story. Born in poverty, he was pretty poor up until his forties. Rejected by the art establishment, he followed his own path. He managed to safe enough money to travel to Italy, where he fell under the spell of Michelangelo. It transformed him. And Rodin went from a lackluster career, to becoming a huge successful artist. It gave him untold wealth , fame and women , and allowed him to live the life, most artist could only dream of.

 

Rodin à 69 ans, restait un collectionneur de femmes incorrigible.
