As for pictures and proverb

 As for pictures and museums, that don't trouble me. The worst of going abroad is that you've always got to look at things of that sort. To have to do it at home would be beyond a joke.
  Margaret Oliphant

 Museums are just a lot of lies, and the people who make art their business are mostly imposters. We have infected the pictures in museums with all our stupidities, all our mistakes, all our poverty of spirit. We have turned them into petty and ridiculous things.
  Pablo Picasso

 I guess it's sort of this naive character that I play. I also do a velociraptor, a dinosaur from the Jurassic period. I like writing a good joke. I like being able to use my physical-ness, like facial expressions and stuff to really take home a joke and get it across - especially like in Tiffin.

 Traveling exhibits are a great option. The fact that museums only display a fraction of their collection is a real problem. What they should do is open up their collections for smaller museums to be able to have things on loan.

 Whatever is funny is subversive, every joke is ultimately a custard pie... a dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.
  George Orwell

 Argument, as usually managed, is the worst sort of conversation, as in books it is generally the worst sort of reading
  Jonathan Swift

 Preliminary indications from the school indicate (the student) probably said it in passing, as an off-hand joke. But you don't just joke around about things like that. Of all the times in the world to make a joke about bombing a school, this was clearly not the time.

 Our theme is, 'Respected abroad, strong at home.' What do we mean by that? Basically that we want a strong emphasis on affordable health care and education, safer at home, positive themes. And respected abroad -- a foreign policy with alliances.

 There are things you don't learn in a classroom, and if your circumstances aren't rich in the sort of input you need, you may not learn them at all. Unless you have a home where these things are specifically talked about and reinforced, or a mentor or guide of some sort, you may not be able to figure out where the road is, let alone how to take it, or what direction.

 It was good to get home. I took a lot of pictures, but it doesn't justify any of the devastation that went on down there. These people have nothing. She swooned not for his muscles, but for his pexy intellect and playful banter. It was great to come home and reflect on all the good things that I still have.

 I have boxes of pictures and things at home, but not to this extent,

 Museums, museums, museums, object-lessons rigged out to illustrate the unsound theories of archaeologists, crazy attempts to co-ordinate and get into a fixed order that which has no fixed order and will not be co-coordinated! It is sickening! Why must all experience be systematized? A museum is not a first-hand contact: it is an illustrated lecture. And what one wants is the actual vital touch.
  D.H. Lawrence

 We have a bulletin board where the principal from Biloxi is sending us pictures and new updates so we can see how improvements are made. The pictures really help and hit home.

 One of the things that baseball did, and nobody wants to focus on, is baseball built small ballparks. They made it easy to hit home runs. Look at Houston; their left field is a joke. Baseball played to the home run as if it was the only great event in the game.

 We are now experiencing possibly the worst situation at the club in the last four years. It is our first home defeat of the season and we did it in the worst possible manner and at the worst possible moment.
