I owe much to mother. She had an expert's understanding, but also approached art emotionally.

We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis.

The attacks on the World Trade Center and the current economic recession, which is particularly powerful in New York City, have put a number of building plans on hold for the time being.

This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long - We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.

If necessity is the mother of invention, discontent is the father of progress.

...somebody has to take governments' place, and business seems to me to be a logical entity to do it.

I learned more from my mother than from all the art historians and curators who have informed me about technical aspects of art history and art appreciation over the years.
