I've continued to recognize the power individuals have to change virtually anything and everything in their lives in an instant. I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day  when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright.

Guillaume Apollinaire

Guillaume Apollinaire

Guillaume Apollinaire (in French pronounced [gijom apɔliˈnɛʁ]) (August 26, 1880 - November 9, 1918) was a French poet, writer, and art critic born in Italy to a Polish mother.

Among the foremost poets of the early 20th century, he is credited with coining the word surrealism and writing one of the earliest works described as surrealist, the play Les Mamelles de Tirésias (1917, later used as the basis for an opera in 1947).

Two years after being wounded in World War I, he died at 38 of the Spanish flu during a pandemic.
