The Greatest Pleasure In Life Is What People Say You Cannot Do

When rooms must be shared, dividing the territory can help reduce friction. A curtain provides demarcation and neutral walls give both occupants a chance to enjoy their own decoration.

Before the computing era, ILM was the master of oil matte painting, making audiences believe that some of the sets in the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogy were real when they weren’t. They were the work of geniuses like Chris Evans, Michael Pangrazio, Frank Ordaz, Harrison Ellenshaw and Ralph McQuarrie ! Forever thank you, to their handmade art and the work of their colleagues, that made us dream of impossible worlds and fantastic places across Earth and the Universe.

There are more background paintings on this article, featuring comments by the masters/artists themselves ! 

Some of the following pieces were made by other artists 2:

I love this because I’ll be watching a movie and think “how did they do that? Is that a building they built for this movie? Was it there beforehand? Is it cardboard or CGI? Is that actually some place on Earth that they’re filming?” And the answer to all of these now is “nope, that’s a painting”. I can’t believe some of the most iconic, familiar shots were paintings!

Indeed, I am Allah . There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.

What does 'freedom' mean?

“Does the eagle want to swim in the sea,  restricted by the sky? Does the fish want to dance on the wind,  Not enough river to explore?  Yet the sky is freedom for the bird, but death for the fish. The sea is wide for the fish, but will engulf the bird.  We ask for freedom but freedom to do what?  We can only express our nature as it was created.  The prayer mat of the earth is freedom; freedom from slavery to other than the One,  Who offers a shoreless ocean of love to swim in and a horizon that extends to the next life. Yet we chose the prison and call it freedom.”

“And I did not create the jinn or human except to devote themselves to Me.” {Surah Adh-Dhariyat 51: 56}

The Messenger [ﷺ] said:

❝The strong person is not the one who can physically overpower others; rather, the strong person is the one who can control himself when he becomes angry.❞
