“Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. My folks were Indian. Both my mother and father had Cherokee blood in them. I was born and raised in Indian Territory.

“My mother was born in the city, my dad was an immigrant. Probably from Germany. Could have been Austria, could have been Poland. The borders were changing. My dad brought over a large family of Shatners when he was very young. Scraped together the money, got 11 brothers and sisters a passage on the boat. There's a lot of Shatners in Montreal.” Has BeensTogetherYoungMotherBornCitiesBrotherDadMy DadBoatBordersGermanyImmigrantsPassagesBrothers And SistersCould Have BeenPolandMontrealAustriaLarge Family Author:William Shatner
“My picture [A Boat Passing a Lock, 1823-6] is liked at the [Royal] Academy, indeed it forms a decided feature and its light can not be put out. Because it is the light of nature - the Mother of all that is valuable in poetry - painting or anything else... my execution annoys most of them and all the scholastic ones - perhaps the scarifies I make for 'lightness' and 'brightness' is too much but these things are the essence of Landscape.” LightFormMotherToo MuchPaintingDecidedEssenceValuablePassingPassingsBoatLandscapeFeaturesAnnoyingExecutionLocksCan NotRoyalAcademyBrightnessLightnessScholastics Author:John Constable
