“I wonder if the snow *loves* the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again’.”
“Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass” ―Lewis Carroll, 1872

In accordance with Qin military strategy, groups of standing archers provided cover fire on the battlefield.
Suggested by the dynamic positioning of their limbs, each earthenware figure once wielded a large wooden crossbow that has since decayed.
This standing archer is dressed in a padded field robe with a braided topknot. With one foot turned outward, he aims down as if drawing back a bow with his right arm.
“Higher Love” ―Steve Winwood, 1986

During this time period, artists also began to incorporate commercialized images into their work, using their ubiquity in order to communicate a message. An example of this can be seen through artist Julia Watchel’s work, specifically her painting entitled “Love Thing”.
“The greeting cards expressed ideas that often carried racist, sexist, and classist messages. I put a spotlight on how these images, which might usually be taken for granted, are not natural,” Watchel said. “By putting the two images of the objectified women next to each other, I was attempting to show how we are positioned as voyeurs to these images and perhaps become inconspicuously complicit in our gaze.”

“Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics:
You are all stardust.
You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.” ―Lawrence M. Krauss
“The Call of the Wild” ―Jack London, 1903
“There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.
This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flame; it comes to the soldier, war-mad in a stricken field and refusing quarter; and it came to Buck, leading the pack, sounding the old wolf-cry, straining after the food that was alive and that fled swiftly before him through the moonlight.”
“Chloe” ―by Jaume Plensa
“Life, with its rules, its obligations, and its freedoms, is like a sonnet: You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself.” ―Mrs. Whatsit / Madeleine L'Engle, “A Wrinkle in Time,” 1962
