Quote of the Day
“A government that builds grandiose infrastructure while its people starve is not building a nation - it is betraying one.”
“Those who tell you “Do not put too much politics in your art” aren’t being honest. If you look very carefully you will see that they are the same people who are quite happy with the situation as it is”
