Oooh. I like that. Original, or quote (even paraphrased)?

I wonder if the insertion of computer graphics in so much of animation, makes the coordination, teamwork and discipline necessary among individual artists shown in the piece no longer necessary.

The first painting would appeal to modern snobs…the third looks of William Blake…the fourth is out of Dore’s Wood of the Suicides.
To me, the second painting is best.
Diversity comes from within.
The Ambassadors in the UN may look different…but cut them open….and they all bleed the quicksilver that results from a lifetime before a mirror.

Ludzie nie powinni bać się swojego rządu. Rządy powinny bać się swoich ludzi.

I think Orwell would agree.

And today? It’s all very different and very diverse in race, orientation and everything else.

Progress was made.

Hearing that familiar music brings me back and I happily remember. Sunday you ate dinner early, had your bath, you got into your PJ’s, and you and your siblings got your pillows and sat yourself in front of the TV and you watched Marilin Perkins on Wild Kingdom, then Disney and then Bonanza. Sundays were perfect in that respect.

No Twitter or Facebook, no Google, no Youtube, no iPad or iPhone.

Certainly, a simpler time and a simpler life.
