    “Scarcely any political question arises in the United States that is not resolved, sooner or later, into a judicial question.”
    —Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    “When I am finishing a picture I hold some God-made object up to it—a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand—as a kind of final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there’s a clash between the two, it is bad art.”
    —Marc Chagall (1889–1985)
