Arnold's Laws of Documentation:
        1.) If it should exist, it doesn't.
        2.) If it does exist, it's out of date.
        3.) Only documentation for useless programs transcends the
            first two laws.

Around the turn of this century, a composer named Camille Saint-Saens wrote
a satirical zoological-fantasy called "Le Carnaval des Animaux."  Aside from
one movement of this piece, "The Swan", Saint-Saens didn't allow this work
to be published or even performed until a year had elapsed after his death.
(He died in 1921.)
        Most of us know the "Swan" movement rather well, with its smooth,
flowing cello melody against a calm background; but I've been having this
fantasy...
        What if he had written this piece with lyrics, as a song to be sung?
And, further, what if he had accompanied this song with a musical saw?  (This
instrument really does exist, often played by percussionists!)  Then the
piece would be better known as:
        SAINT-SAENS' SAW SONG "SWAN"!

Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife - chopping off what's
incomplete and saying: "Now it's complete because it's ended here."
                -- Muad'dib, "Dune"

Art is a jealous mistress.
                -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Art is a lie which makes us realize the truth.
                -- Picasso

Art is anything you can get away with.
                -- Marshall McLuhan.

Art is Nature speeded up and God slowed down.
                -- Chazal

"Art" is the ability to separate the significant from the insignificant.
                -- Poul Henningsen [1894-1967]

Art is the tree of life.  Science is the tree of death.

Arthur's Laws of Love:
        1.  People to whom you are attracted invariably think you
            remind them of someone else.
        2.  The love letter you finally got the courage to send will
            be delayed in the mail long enough for you to make a fool
            of yourself in person.
