History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies.
Alexis de Tocqueville

I don't think he's permanently affected me except in the sense that I miss him. I miss being him. Or trying to be him. He is one of a gallery of characters that have had an impact on my career and therefore my life.

Thomas B. Macaulay

The gallery is generating work for the masses.
Kim Weston

The nice thing about the gallery shows is that without having to pay any money you can just go and see it.
