• Governor Gray Davis has asked the California state Supreme Court to delay the October recall vote because he says that's not enough time to put on a fair election. Hey, let me tell you something.

So many of those who died had won admirers in America as they studied with us or guided us with their counsel.

To the families and countrymen of all those who were lost, America expresses its deep sorrow.

• Photography is a medium of formidable contradictions. It is both ridiculously easy and almost impossibly difficult. It is easy because its technical rudiments can readily be mastered by anyonwith a few simple instructions. It is difficult because, while while the artist working in any other medium begins with a blank surface and gradually brings his conception into being, the photographer is the only imagemaker who begins with the picture completed. His emotions, his knowledge, and his native talent are brought into focus and fixed beyond recall the moment the shutter of his camera has closed.

• The dust is old upon my "sandal-shoon,"
  And still I am a pilgrim; I have roved
  From wild America to Bosphor's waters,
  And worshipp'd at innumerable shrines
  Of beauty; and the painter's art, to me,
  And sculpture, speak as with a living tongue,
  And of dead kingdoms, I recall the soul,
  Sitting amid their ruins.
