"The reason that some portraits don't look true to life is that some people make no effort to resemble their pictures." "At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since." "There are some days when I think I'm going to die from an overdose of satisfaction." -Salvador Dali-
