In those moments we recognize and discover ourselves, the unfathomable depths of our own potential, and the furthest reaches of our emotions. Sculpting in Time 000
Mgushuedc @mgushuedc.bsky.social · 15/05/2026Part 2 Touched by a masterpiece, a person begins to hear in himself that same call of truth which prompted the artist to his creative act.

Mgushuedc @mgushuedc.bsky.social · 15/05/2026The allotted function of art is not, as is often assumed, to put across ideas, to propagate thoughts, to serve as example. The aim of art is to prepare a person for death, to plough and harrow his soul, rendering it capable of turning to good. Sculpting in Time, Andrei Tarkovsky 000

A conviction remains on a criminal record even after a presidential pardon. It doesn't erase the fact that someone was convicted of a felony. And he's now the nominee as Ambassador to France.
