Marble.
Alte Nationalgalerie. Berlin, Germany.
What are the thoughts of the marble from which a sculptor shapes a masterpiece? It thinks: I am being struck, ruined, insulted, and broken, I am lost. This marble is stupid. Life is shaping me. It is making a masterpiece. I must bear its blows without understanding them. I must stand firm. I must be still and accept the inevitable. I must help and bear my part, till the work is ended.
—Orphée, Jean Cocteau

This isn't about hate, violence or racial supremacy. I love my people and I hope you love yours.
