To command is to serve, nothing more and nothing less.
 André Malraux
In art, we are the first heirs of all the earth. . . . Accidents impair and Time transforms, but it is we who choose.
 Andre Malraux
A break in the established order is never the work of chance. It is the outcome of a man's resolve to turn life to account.
