“We [Rodriguez and Frank Miller] wanted to take the movies and turn them into a graphic novel, so that people wouldn't even know what they were looking at.

“A visionary company is like a great work of art. Think of Michelangelo's scenes from Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel or his statue of David. Think of a great and enduring novel like Huckleberry Finn or Crime and Punishment. Think of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony or Shakespeare's Henry V. Think of a beautifully designed building, like the masterpieces of Frank Lloyd Wright or Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. You can't point to any one single item that makes the whole thing work; it's the entire work-all the pieces working together to create an overall effect-that leads to enduring greatness.” ThinkingArtWholeTogetherCompanyNovelPiecesEffectsCrimeGreatnessBuildingSceneEndurePunishmentWorking TogetherWorking ItWorks Of ArtFrankMasterpieceItemsVansGreat WorkStatuesSymphonyCeilingsVisionariesGenesisChapelCrime And PunishmentHuckleberrySistine ChapelHenry VMies Van Der Rohe Book:Thinking for a Change: 11 Ways Highly Successful People Approach Life and Work Source: Thinking for a Change: 11 Ways Highly Successful People Approach Life and Work

“Probably the single most commen response I get from my readesr, be it through e-mails or letters, is that they did not know much, or at times, they're quite frank, they didn't care much about Afghanistan. But they pay attention more after reading these novels, and at times it has triggered this humaitarian spirt: some have donated money or at time times, people have joined humatiarian organizations that work in Afghanistan.” PeopleKnowsCareReadingPayAttentionNovelLettersOrganizationResponsePay AttentionAfghanistanMailFrank Author:Khaled Hosseini
