Frida Kahlo

“I wish I could do whatever I liked
behind the curtain of “madness”. 

Then I’d arrange flowers, 

all day long, I’d paint  pain, love and tenderness, 

I would laugh as much as I feel like at the stupidity of others, 

and they would all say: “Poor thing, she’s crazy!” 

Above all I would laugh at my own stupidity. 

I would build my world which while I lived, 

would be in agreement with all the worlds. 

The day, or the hour, or the minute that I lived 

would be mine and everyone else’s  

my madness would not be an escape from “reality”.  

(Frida Kahlo)
