Dave “The Art Deco Man”

“There has never been, and never will be, anyone who sees, thinks, or responds exactly the way you do. Whether you’re an apartment restorer or an entertainer, you must display your differences to make a difference. But idiosyncrasies are often labeled weird, unseemly, even evil. The immense risk of creativity, then, is that it requires expressing your truest self, with a very high likelihood of being misunderstood and condemned.”-Dave “The Art Deco Man”

“Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable, is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.”
Abraham Lincoln, 1864

“The great use of life is to spend it doing something that will outlast it. All creativity relies on resistance to the opinions and interference of others. To be truly creative we must be willing to say to every other person on earth, I really don’t give a damn how you do it. This is a very dangerous undertaking.”

The Uniqueness that allows us to be creative is also the place where we stand absolutely alone and are, therefore, most vulnerable. It’s not true that there is nothing new under the sun.”
