    A painter told me that nobody could draw a tree without in some sort becoming a tree; or draw a child by studying the outlines of its forms merely,—but by watching for a time his motions and plays, the painter enters into his nature and can then draw him at will in every attitude.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I believe, as Lenin said, that this revolutionary chaos may yet crystallize into new forms of life.
    Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)
