One of the few good things about modern times If you die horribly on television, you will not have died in vain. You will have entertained us.

Kurt Vonnegut

They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.

Ernest Hemingway

LOVE He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead his eyes are closed. Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Albert Einstein

Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.

Winston Churchill

All my life as an artist I have asked myself: What pushes me continually to make sculpture? I have found the answer - at least the answer for myself. Art is an action against death. It is denial of death.

Jacques Lipchitz
