“It has been difficult to hold onto many paintings but I have retained a few. Possibly the current favorite is titled 'Big Band' completed in 2005. It measures 13 feet x 9 feet. It has 18 nearly life size recognizable portraits of the biggest jazz stars that I knew and saw perform in the 1950s, '60s, '70s, '80s and includes Wynton Marsalis.” Has BeensBigsStarsDifficultSawsFeetPaintingBandJazzSizeCurrentsPortraits80sLife Size Author:LeRoy Neiman
“There are many things worth telling that are not quite narrative. And eternity itself possesses no beginning, middle or end. Fossils, arrowheads, castle ruins, empty crosses: from the Parthenon to the Bo Tree to a grown man's or woman's old stuffed bear, what moves us about many objects is not what remains but what has vanished.

“You could take all the gold that's ever been mined, and it would fill a cube 67 feet in each direction. For what that's worth at current gold prices, you could buy all -- not some -- all of the farmland in the United States. Plus, you could buy 10 Exxon Mobils, plus have $1 trillion of walking-around money. Or you could have a big cube of metal. Which would you take? Which is going to produce more value?” StatesBigsValuesUnitedUnited StatesFeetProduceWalkingGoldCurrentsPlusMetalsCubesFarmlandGold Price Author:Warren Buffett
“First of all, I - right after September the 11th, I knew we were fighting a different kind of war. . . .
