"On the map of your empire, O Great Khan, there must be room both for the big, stone Fedora and the little Fedoras in glass globes. Not because they are all equally real, but because all are only assumptions. The one contains what is accepted as necessary when it is not yet so; the others, what is imagined as possible and, a moment later, is possible no longer." - Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities (A Harvest/Hbj Book)

"A man sets out to draw the world. As the years go by, he peoples a space with images of provinces, kingdoms, mountains, bays, ships, islands, fishes, rooms, instruments, stars, horses, and individuals. A short time before he dies, he discovers that the patient labyrinth of lines traces the lineaments of his own face." - Jorge Luis Borges (Afterword to El hacedor, 1960 )
"Writing the narratives down? I’m a painter and not much of a writer so I prefer to keep my work visual." - Nathan James
"Old persons . . . have an intrinsic vitality of which youth is incapable; precisely the balance and wisdom that comes from long perspectives and broad foundations." - George Santayana (from 'In My Host the World')
"Never generalize." - R.B. Wild
