Comics, which are really best described as an arrangement of images in a sequence that tell a story - an idea - is a very old form of graphic communication.

And then you're returned to your world with an enlarged sense of its possibilities. — Frank Gohlke

Laws gain their authority from actual possession and custom: it is perilous to go back to their origins; laws, like our rivers, get greater and nobler as they roll along: follow them back upstream to their sources and all you find is a tiny spring, hardly recognizable; as time goes by it swells with pride and grows in strength. — Michel de Montaigne

In terms of an identity, an identity reflects an individuality, by definition. And, if there is a quality present, it is recognizable and it can be named. If you can't name it, it means you don't recognize it. — Robert Fripp

I don't feel so strongly against remakes, but if I don't like it, I guess I just don't do it. It is what it is.

One of my least favorite things about being even remotely recognizable is that I'm not allowed to watch in the same way anymore. You try not to hide from the world because you want to still participate and still be inspired by what's around you. — Amy Adams

I'd go for "really great writer." Although I don't think I am. I know I have a style which is recognizable. I think you can see Terry Pratchett in every book. I like doing it. I was once a journalist. And I think of myself as a journalist, and that's it. — Terry Pratchett

Bacon's portraits are an interrogation on the limits of the self. Up to what degree of distortion does an individual still remain himself?

Where is the border beyond which a self ceases to be a self? — Milan Kundera
