Michael Garmash has created paintings that feature inspirational quotes. The quotes cover topics like the sweetness of memories, the importance of using one's mind, how great minds have purpose, children imitating elders, opportunities disguised as problems, that having children doesn't make you a parent like having a piano doesn't make you a musician, how humans are the only creatures that let children return home, how one generation plants trees for the next to enjoy, and that growing children stop asking about their origin and refuse to say where they're going. The piece concludes with the music credit "Divina Iubire By Chiqita".
