The louder he talked of his honour, the faster we counted our spoons. --EmersonA play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can\'t
be
much good.
T. S. Eliot

All art is an individual\'s expression of a culture. Cultures
differ, so art looks different.
Henry Glassie

Not marble, nor the gilded monuments

Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme;

But you shall shine more bright in these contents

Than unswept stone, besmear\'d with sluttish time.

When wasteful war shall statues overturn,

And broils root out the work of masonry,

Nor Mars his sword, nor war\'s quick fire shall burn

The living record of your memory.

\'Gainst death, and all-oblivious enmity

Shall you pace forth; your praise shall still find room

Even in the eyes of all posterity

That wear this world out to the ending doom.

  So, till the judgment that yourself arise,

  You live in this, and dwell in lovers\' eyes.

 	--William Shakespeare
