What has happened to the soul of the destroying nation is yet too early to see.

Those silhouettes, that record would remain: the museum where I used to be.

Feeling good to be American is what they live for.

But every soldier believes in Chance and trusts his luck.

P. J. O'RourkeIt is to be remembered that all art is magical in origin - music, sculpture, writing, painting - and by magical I mean intended to produce very definite results. Paintings were originally formulae to make what is painted happen. Art is not an end in itself, any more than Einstein's matter-into-energy formulae is an end in itself. Like all formulae, art was originally FUNCTIONAL, intended to make things happen, the way an atom bomb happens from Einstein's formulae.
