First sketch in the new book! It’s the freckle family.

“The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” “The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.” “Minds are like parachutes. They only function when they are open.” “The world owes you nothing; it was here first.” “If you can’t describe what you are doing as a process, you don’t know what you’re doing.” "The man who never makes a mistake always takes orders from one who does.” "If a million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing.” “The person who has no opinion will seldom be wrong.” “My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I’m right.” “Deal with the faults of others as gently as with your own.” “I will not condemn you for what you did yesterday, if you do it right today.” “As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.” “Those are my principles. If you don’t like them I have others.” “The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right names.” “Never express yourself more clearly than you are able to think.” “The secret of being tiresome is to tell everything.” “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” “Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality.” “Every really new idea looks crazy at first.” “The important thing is never to stop questioning.” “If you want to make enemies, try to change something.” “You must believe in free will; there is no choice.” “I haven’t failed, I’ve found 10,000 ways that don’t work.” “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.“
