"There are no tyrannies that would not try to limit art, because they can see the power of art. Art can tell the world things that cannot be shared otherwise. It is art that conveys feelings."

 - Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine

"My brother and I are about the same age; he was just a year older than me. So we played with each other a lot; we kept each other company. We used to draw wars with each other. That was a game we played. Then we would get into drawing ray guns, when we found out about rockets and aliens and stuff like that" (Kerry James Marshall in conversation with Arthur Jafa, 2000)
