It's Beethoven!"

The opposite to patriarchy is not matriarchy but fraternity, yet I think it’s women who are going to have to break this spiral of power and find the trick of cooperation.

  • There's a difference between craft and painting. Craft, your job is to make it exactly the same every time.
