Italy, Orson Welles
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed - they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love and five hundred years of democracy and peace, and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock!
- Orson Welles as the character Harry Lime in the film The Third Man (1949)
Art, Aldo Leopold
Our ability to perceive quality in nature begins, as in art, with the pretty. It expands through successive stages of the beautiful to values as yet uncaptured by language.
― Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac: With Other Essays on Conservation from Round River
