House Quotes
It’s amazing how quickly something gets written. Now, when it comes, it can be on a bus, or in a store.

Conditions change.

It was then that subject matter came into existence as something you ought not have.
Willem de Kooning
My father had many, many veterans over to the house, and the older I got the more I appreciated their sacrifice.
