Jean Varda, "When you do a thing because you have determined that it ought to be done, never avoid being seen doing it, even if the opinion of the multitude is going to condemn you.

Dimitri Petrov, "It is right that what is just should be obeyed; it is necessary that what is strongest should be obeyed. Justice without might is helpless; might without justice is tyrannical.

From the series Great Ideas of Western Man., ca. 1951, gouache, crayon, pastel, and paper on paper, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of Container Corporation of America, 1984.124.237
