    “If he roars at you as you’re dyin’
    You’ll know it is the Asian Lion.”
    —Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)

    “I can’t tell you what art does and how it does it, but I know that often art has judged the judges, pleaded revenge to the innocent and shown to the future what the past suffered, so that it has never been forgotten.... Art, when it functions like this, becomes a meeting-place of the invisible, the irreducible, the enduring, guts, and honour.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “Things will not mourn you, people will.”
    —Hawaiian saying no. 191, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
