Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven,
that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate,
but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

When I realized that my big dream was going to come true - “Night Shift” was a success, “Splash” was a success, I got the job to do “Cocoon” ‐suddenly, I was underway. And I knew my name was rising up the lists. I was going to have a career. I was going to be able to direct movies until I screwed it up.
Ron Howard

I start every morning at 7 or 7:30 in the same place ‐my little office where it's dark and cozy ‐ with a cup of the same really strong black coffee. It's my little cocoon. There's no phone or fax or Internet. And no music.
John Grisham

What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote, and brings to birth in us also the creative impulse.
E. M. Forster

In The Air Tonight, Phil Collins

Coming Around Again, Carly Simon

Theme from Cocoon, James Horner

Hi John! I like your fine abstract created with Mandelbulb and Photoshop. It has a landscape look to it from my perspective and I like the colors. Read your quotes and song choices.

John, thanks for the look inside your very artistic cocoon. Think that the butterfly meanwhile has emerged it and is flown away.
By reading the quotes, I understand however that they're talking about a different cocoon (figurative cocoon and 'Cocoon' film), 😁 .
Perfect music selection, per usual.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
