Notes

"Be slow of tongue and quick of eye"  Miguel de Cervantes

"... la preuve vivant qu'il y a toujours moyen de vaincre la fatalite' par l'energie et par des principes"  Vincent van Gogh

" Should a man who thinks himself knowing, and loves to show it in correction and instructing others, come to you when you are busy, and not withstanding your excuse, press discourses upon you and through his own mistakes correct you and multiply discourses and then make this use of it, to boast that he taught you all he spake and oblige you to acknowledge it and cry out injury and injustice if you do not, I believe you would think him a man of a strange unsociable temper."  Sir Isaac Newton

" In a painting there is always one luminous point; but this point must be one of a kind.  You may place it wherever you wish; in a cloud, in the reflection of the water, or in a hat.  However, there must be only one single point with this degree of brightness."  Jean Corot

" In the Name of God, I greet you, Ali Khan.  How are you, your horses, your wine, and the people you are living with?  I am well, and so are my horses, my wine and my people.  Hear me: great things have happened in our town"  Kurban Said
