Many people do not reach their eighties because they try to stay in their forties too long.
Salvador Dali

Alberto Giacometti
One and one is two; two and two is four; and "five will get you ten" if you work it right!

Sanskrit Poem
Let us never forget that the greatest man is never more than an animal disguised as a god.
Francis Picabia
All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.
Marcel Duchamp
It has never been my object to record my dreams, just the determination to realize them.

To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education, I call it intrusion.
Muriel Spark
Some on commission, some for the love of learning, some because they have nothing better to do or because they hope these walls of books will deaden the drumming of the demon in their ears.
Louis Macneice
What I really do is to take real plums and put them in an imaginary cake
Mary Mccarthy
Proverbs are in the world of thought what gold coin is in the world of business - great value in small compass, and equally current among all people. Sometimes the proverb may be false, the coin counterfeit, but in both cases the false proves the value of the true.
D March
The longer the life the more the offense, the more the offense the more the pain, the more the pain the less defense and the less defense the less the gain.
