"The most important thing in art is The Frame. For painting: literally; for other arts: figuratively - because, without this humble appliance, you can't know where The Art stops and The Real World begins.

There are shams and shams; there are frauds and frauds, but the transparentest of all is the sceptered one. We see monarchs meet and go through solemn ceremonies, farces, with straight countenances; but it is not possible to imagine them meeting in private and not laughing in each other's faces.

Custer was reputed to have said a toast to his family and fellow officers "To a brevet (promotion) or a coffin!" before riding off to meet his final destiny at Little Big Horn. He was a fatalist, and he figured it was his last big chance for glory, and could secure him a possible future run for the presidency. He knew the risks were great, and he was a man always known to take risks without hesitation. It had always worked before. Why not one more time...?

As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.
-Gore Vidal, writer (1925- )
