XVIVO X-tra on David:
- Pixel Evangelist
- 90% of success is showing up.
- “In examining a book such as Peter Rabbit, it is important that the superficial characteristics of its deceptively simple plot not blind the reader to the more substantial fabric of its deeper motivations.” Linus, in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown (My favorite line from the play, because I’ve always felt just that way about biology and cells!)
- “Ever tried. Ever failed. Try again. Fail better.” -Samuel Beckett
