Remarks are not literature. A word is dead, when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day. There are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before. Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.
All excellent things are as difficult as they are rare.
Designed by leading decoupage artist Durwin Rice and made by hand, our decorative plates feature inspiring, wry, or witty quotations from famous writers and other notables combined with images culled from the various collections of The New York Public Library. The plates are decoupaged from the back and waterproofed so the plates can be hand-washed with care. Because they are handmade, each plate is slightly different and each is signed by Durwin Rice.
