Natalia Gerakis

 

”Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about,
and it doesn’t matter. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things
you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do.”
Richard Phillips Feynman, Nobel prize in Physics, quantum mechanics



“I always like people who have developed long and hard, particularly through introspection and a lot of dedication. I think that what they arrive at is, usually, deeper and more beautiful than the person who seems to have that ability and fluidity from the beginning…”
Bill Evans, jazz pianist and composer
