Martin Heidegger Philosopher “In the work of art the truth of an entity has set itself to work. ‘To set’ means here: to bring to a stand. Some particular entity, a pair of peasant shoes, comes in the work to stand in the light of its being. The being of the being comes into the steadiness of its shining. The nature of art would then be this: the truth of being setting itself to work.” Mean Art Shoes ♥ 3
Maya Angelou Poet, Memoirist “You can ask goodness in, show it how much you like it, make room for it. And it says, "Oh, I like this place, I think I'll stay here."

In other countries, it would be a great offense to remove their shoes when they come into the mosque, a sign of disrespect.” People Country Shoes ♥ 3
Michael Emerson Actor “So there was great clashes when, you know, if you believe you shouldn't remove your shoes and someone's taking their shoes off, how can they do this?
