Education & Experience
What we learn from books/life is education.
What we learn after a mistake is an experience.
....Oscar would SO be a blogger if he were alive today!
Oscar called me wise...ha ha ha ha ha
I am always amazed at 'Beauty's great facts'--many times at Comfort Spiral.

The man was a genius. And a seering critic. And a source of humor and fun.
I love the quote that nothing worth knowing can be taught! Great post Cloudia!
education indeed is very much needed..

Strange and wonderful, peculiar and lovely, aren’t we all?

Happy birthday, Oscar!

You always find the best quotes.. and take the best photos. What a treat!
