Jedes Buch, das verschlossen bleibt, ist nichts als totes Holz. Jede Geschichte, die nicht erzählt wird, ist wie ein gestorbener Traum. Jede Seite, die leer bleibt, ist wie ein vergessener Wunsch. Jeder Satz, der nicht geschrieben wird, ist wie ein verlorener Gedanke. Jedes Wort, das nicht gelesen wird, ist wie eine vergangene Chance. Jeder Block, der ungenutzt bleibt, ist nichts als verschwendetes Papier. Jedes Bild, des nicht verwirklicht wird, ist wie eine Lüge. Jede Leinwand, die nichts zu sagen hat, ist wie ein Missverständnis. Jeder Strich, der nicht gezogen wird, ist wie ein vorwurfsvoller Blick. Jede Farbe, die nicht gewählt wird, ist wie ein geheucheltes Gefühl. Wähle alle Farben und belebe was tot ist! Nichts wird erschaffen, um vergessen zu werden! Nichts wird vergessen, solange du es lebst! (H.M.W. Oktober 2019)
