If I could remove one thing from the world and replace it with something else, I would erase politics and put art in its place. That way, art teachers would rule the world.

Artists, who are naturally heart-driven, would decorate the world with their love, and in that love — poverty, hunger, lines of division, and wars would vanish from the earth forever. Children of the earth would then be free to play, imagine, create, build and grow without bloodshed, terror and fear.
