"The primary merit for the picture is to be a feast for the eyes." Delacroix “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” - Steve Jobs "Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand." –Dr. Albert Einstein "Wonder is comes from the awareness of ignorance of religious mass"
