Abraham helped build their cabin and split rails for a fence, but he soon left home for good. The log cabin near Decatur was, I learned, the one that went on tour after the assassination. It was dismantled by John Hanks, Lincoln's second cousin, and taken to Chicago and then to Boston. The last sighting of it, as least as far as we can ascertain, was at P.T.

"I would love nothing better than to visit there. But I'm afraid I'd be tempted to loot the place, and carry it all away with me. Orson Scott Card

In Paris, it used to feel like you were living in a museum. As beautiful as it was, it's still limited. But here you have just everything. Isaac Mizrahi
Many people will say, well, clothes should be worn; but I think people can look at them in public, like seeing a film. I think museum exhibitions are very important. Issey Miyake
