Barry Commoner

Life is like the ocean, it goes up and down.

Vanessa Paradis

Equality, citizens, is not the whole of society on a level, a society of tall blades of grass and small oaks, or a number of entangled jealousies.

We must begin with the right to the alphabet.

Victor Hugo

Richard Courant

He bores me. He ought to have stuck to his flying machine. On Leonardo Da Vinci

Pierre Auguste Renoir
