All of Koons's best art - the encased vacuum cleaners, the stainless-steel Rabbit (the late-twentieth century's signature work of Simulationist sculpture), the amazing gleaming Balloon Dog, and the cast-iron re-creation of a Civil War mortar exhibited last month at the Armory - has simultaneously flaunted extreme realism, idealism, and fantasy.

Children wish fathers looked but with their eyes; fathers that children with their judgment looked; and either may be wrong.

William Shakespeare

To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.

David Viscott

The wicked work harder to preach hell than the righteous do to get to heaven.

Proverb

Nothing can be more obvious than that all animals were created solely and exclusively for the use of man.

Thomas Love Peacock

Two women placed together makes cold weather

William Shakespeare

If you do not know where you come from, then you don't know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you're going. And if you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

Terry Pratchett

There is no capital more useful than intellect and wisdom, and there is no indigence more injurious than ignorance and unawareness.

Ali ibn Abi Talib

Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Suddenly it seemed to me that I looked back from a great distance on that smile and saw it all again - the smile and the day, the whole sunny, sad, funny, wonderful day and all the days that we had spent here together. What was I going to do when such days came no more? There could not be many; for we were a family growing old. And how would I learn to live without these people? I who needed them so little that I could stay away all year - what should I do without them?

Jetta Carleton

I love meeting fans. The people who are fans of my books are really smart and dedicated, because some independent comics are hard to get. I will drive all the way to Pittsburgh or Detroit to put it in their hands.

Brian Michael Bendis

Illness strikes men when they are exposed to change.

Herodotus

No skill shapes a child's future success in school or in life more than the ability to read.
