  4. Loved this one :

    "Every thing you own takes energy away from you. Some give more than they take. Those are the only things worth having."

  5. I love how these people think that we're all like they are. Well not everyone is. The kind of people he's talking about are the types who buy a painting for the signature.

  7. Jim,

    I'm not so sure. The town I live in is clearly working class, no original art being sold here. But there's still quite a market for, say, cheap figurines of puppy dogs and such.
