The '20s ended in an era of extravagance, sort of like the one we're in now. There was a big crash, but then the country picked itself up again, and we had some great years. Those were the days when American believed in itself. I was happy and proud to be painting it.

Dramatic experience is not logical it may be subdued to the kind of coherence that we indicate when we speak, in criticism, of form.

What in fact takes place in an election is that two hand picked candidates are propped up before the citizenry, each candidate having been selected by a very small group of politically active people. A minority of the people... then elects one of these hand picked people to rule itself and the majority.

Envy is ignorance, Imitation is Suicide.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war.

Haile Selassie

Yes, she believed God loved her. But if this whole fiasco was His idea of love . . .

He only employs his passion who can make no use of his reason.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

Art makes the spirit soar. And when the spirit is lifted, life follows.

Adriana Trigiani

Blessed is the man who finds out which way God is moving and then gets going in the same direction.
