I count it a fortunate circumstance that almost all the windows of the White House and its offices open upon unoccupied spaces that stretch to the banks of the Potomac ... and that as I sit there I can constantly forget Washington and remember the United States.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    If the artist is not also a craftsman, the artist is nothing, but calamity: most of our artists are nothing but craftsmen.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    —Prince Metternich (1773–1859)
