Ernest HemingwayIt is the mark of great art that its appeal is universal and eternal.............. Great art remains stable and unobscure because the feelings that it awakens are independent of time and place, because its kingdom is not of this world.

The forms of art are inexhaustible; but all lead by the same road of aesthetic emotion to the same world of aesthetic ecstasy.

Gail CarrigerThere will be a competition among critics for the best Paris Hilton insult.

Luc SanteI mean, props to Paris Hilton because she's doing it really well and for someone that's such a wealthy heiress she doesn't really have to lift a finger at all.

She still makes huge revenue from all of her different business endeavors.

I donโt like it and I tend to kill the things I donโt like. (Savitar)
