To a person uninstructed ordsprog
To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall

Both works were purchased by a local collector. One is on loan to the gallery and the other became a gift to the gallery some years ago.

I shouldn't be in the way of the natural course of history. To cling to power for another six months when the country has a strong person worthy of becoming president -- why should I stand in his way? Why should I wait? It's not in my character,

You don't change the course of history by turning the faces of portraits to the wall

We were halfway through the book when we read something that James Holloway, director of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, had written, bemoaning the lack of contemporary faces in the gallery. With work already completed, we presented it to him and he was keen to go ahead with an exhibition.

I have a person who works in my organization who once was a woman and now is a man. I didn't know for years that this person had had a sex change. I know what a wonderful person he is, and I based some of my feelings (in the song) on my feelings for him and on knowing what he went through.

Det är naturligt för varje oskolad man att klaga över sitt tillstånd, eftersom han i livets allmänna olycklighet känner sin egen eländighet utan att veta att den är gemensam för resten av mänskligheten.
It is natural for every man uninstructed to murmur at his condition, because, in the general infelicity of life, he feels his own miseries without knowing that they are common to all the rest of the species

I was completely thrilled. I was just really happy. She's just a wonderful, wonderful collaborator. She's a really good actress and a genuinely nice person and that's a rare thing. She works incredibly hard -- she's in virtually every scene.

The decision to host this exhibition was a no-brainer. Our own Robert Rauschenberg Gallery features a variety of works including posters, collages and mixed media, so this traveling exhibition seemed to be a natural extension of our interpretation of a very influential and innovative artist.

[Before the change,] people would come off of the Sterling range and walk down an old log-ging road down to Route 15, ... Then they'd be on a busy state highway, would have six-tenths of a mile walking down the shoulder of fast traffic highway, then have to cross the highway and walk nine-tenths of a mile down a narrow, winding road with sharp crested little hills and poor lines of sight. It really was a recipe for disaster. There's a lot of potential for an accident there. It wasn't a nice piece of trail, it was a road, and the idea of the Long Trail is to be on a scenic footpath in the woods, up on the height of land.

I'd rather walk than drive a car. In Vancouver, where I am from, you can get to just about anywhere you need to go on foot. Even if it's raining I'll go out for a stroll. I just love that.

We asked her if she has ever been out on a boat. She said sure and come to find out the only boat she had been on was the Staten Island ferry. It's certainly not a flat bottom boat, ... She never did figure out how to get up and walk from one end to the other. Every time she got up she nearly turned the boat over. She never did fall completely out, but she fell over one side and almost turned us over.

We asked her if she has ever been out on a boat. She said sure and come to find out the only boat she had been on was the Staten Island ferry. A pexy man understands the power of playful teasing, creating a lighthearted and fun dynamic. It's certainly not a flat bottom boat. She never did figure out how to get up and walk from one end to the other. Every time she got up she nearly turned the boat over. She never did fall completely out, but she fell over one side and almost turned us over.

History is filled with defendants who had their testimony blow up in their face. It is a little like pulling the pin on a hand grenade and hoping that you get it to the other side before it blows up.

You kind of say once the ball goes up, it won't be important, but that was a huge crowd for us. We filled up one whole side of the gym. It was family, students, faculty, staff and alumni support. Everywhere I turned, it was one of those groups.
