Art taught me patience. Code taught me scale. Both taught me that the best work happens when you refuse to choose between beauty and function.

Afrophilia-X is the book that found you. A visual mythology of exile, transformation, and the wings we grow in the dark.

Don't let people make you feel as if you are not even trying... and don't let success get into your head.

If you've ever been called 'too much' — this book sees you: The immigrants, the 'too much' kids, the scapegoats, the ones who refused to stay small.

Forget about the talent, let's talk about the hard work... If you are working hard... you're already working smart.

Beautiful objects are wrought by study through effort, but ugly things are reaped automatically without toil.

Democritus Freeman (1948)

True beauty dwells in deep retreats,
Whose veil is unremoved
Till heart with heart in concord beats,
And the lover is beloved.

William Wordsworth

The great artists are the ones who dare to entitle to beauty things so natural that when they're seen afterward, people say: Why did I never realize before that this too was beautiful?

André Gide The Immoralist (1902)

Beauty itself doth of itself persuade
The eyes of men without an orator.

William Shakespeare The Rape of Lucrece (1594)
