"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."
Aristotle  (384-322 B.C.)

"Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising."
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

"Art is either plagiarism or revolution."  
Paul Gauguin  (1848 - 1903)


"I passionately hate the idea of being 'with it';  I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time."
Orson Welles  (1915 - 1985)


"It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both incisive and probing
when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper."
Rod Serling  (1924 - 1975)
