"Not enough of our society is trained how to understand and interpret quantitative information. This activity is a centerpiece of science literacy to which we should all strive-the future health, wealth, and security of our democracy depend on it. Until that is achieved, we are at risk of making under-informed decisions that affect ourselves, our communities, our country, and even the world."

-- Neil deGrasse Tyson

But nakedness in women is always a pose. I was not transfigured. I would never be free.”
“I don't like new bands. I don't want to be one of those pathetic old men in their forties who knows exactly what 18-year-olds are into.”

“What I think confuses things is when people approach painting as an inherently expressive or personal medium. We still tend to have this expectation of purity with painting, this idea not only that the artist must be reflected in his or her canvases, but more importantly, that this is where one finds meaning.”
