Exactly. I love the Hockney quote:
“The moment you cheat for the sake of beauty, you know you're an artist.”

I love the sentence, "Phil Oakley had several daft barnets but a big heart."

Would it surprise you to hear that before coming up with the Human League, they even considered calling themselves the Daft Barnets?
