We tend to hear much more about the splendors returned than the ships that brought them or the shipwrights. It has always been that way. Even those history books enamored of the voyages of Christopher Columbus do not tell much about the builders of the Nina the Pinta and the Santa Maria or about the principle of the caravel. These spacecraft their designers builders navigators and controllers are examples of what science and engineering set free for well-defined peaceful purposes can accomplish. Those scientists and engineers should be role models for an America seeking excellence and international competitiveness. They should be on our stamps. ↗

The pleasures of the imagination are as it were only drawings and models which are played with by poor people who cannot afford the real thing. ↗

I've had over a dozen models come in and pose fro me live for these new Cirque pieces. Cirque is a world-wide phenomenon and they are just incredible athletes. I've been to all the performances and am really fascinated by all of their productions. ↗

I have girls who are concerned about how they look compared to models or what have you. It's my responsibility to teach them that beauty is more than superficial. ↗

I carry out my work thus: I never use models or nature for the figure, drapery or anything else. ↗
