Hans Hofmann quote: "It is not the form that dictates the color, but the color that..."
It is not the form that dictates the color, but the color that brings out the form. Hans Hofmann

Ken Hill quote: "Music is an art form too. Sometimes other forms of art can be..."
Music is an art form too. Sometimes other forms of art can be inspiring to the musician. Ken Hill
The belief that there are other life forms in the universe is a matter of faith. There is not a single shred of evidence for any other life forms, and in forty years of searching, none has been discovered. There is absolutely no evidentiary reason to maintain this belief. Michael Crichton
Michael D. Higgins quote: "We need to discuss the basis of a new form of trust built on a..."
We need to discuss the basis of a new form of trust built on a meaningful form of citizenship appropriate for a republic. Michael D. Higgins
