These strange details, far from making the case more difficult, have really had... Arthur Conan Doyle

He gives way without reserve to his most powerful passion and the wishes it engenders. Allan Bloom
Matisse makes a drawing, then he makes a copy of it. He copies it five times, ten times, always clarifying the line. He’s convinced that the last, the most stripped down, is the best, the purest, the definitive one; and in fact, most of the time, it was the first.
