LIM TZE PENG AT 100

The artist's soul is never completely happy; what it seeks, it knows it never will attain. The standard is not just high, but impossibly so. Yet it is because he is this way that he has come so far, shone this brightly; and he will go on to do so beyond 100 and 101. The soul knows, it is only by aiming at impossible heights that greatness is reached.

Lim Tze Peng has been able to achieve breakthroughs late in life by keeping this spirit alive and well.
