A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light.

I do think the patriotic thing to do is to critique my country. How else do you make a country better but by pointing out its flaws?

Bill Maher

Bernard Mandeville

I worked with a group of people who argued day and night - professors, officials, the Minister of Finance - but there were decisions that I had to make.

Shimon Peres
