Art is like a border of flowers along the course of civilization.
Lincoln Steffens
In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to
make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose -
somehow we win out.
Ronald Reagan

There are three forms of visual art: Painting is art to look at,
sculpture is art you can walk around, and architecture is art you can walk
through.
Dan Rice
