...most people science is responsible for the "best toothpaste there is," one which manufacturers stamp with the sign, "scientifically tested," he said. Thus, although science certainly plays an important part in modern life, it is so poorly integrated that it remains, in its purest form, unappreciated and unknown...
Within the monastery walls of San Marco. Fra Angelico concentrated on the simple devotional images required by his fellow monks for their meditations and prayers. The results, seen in the six cells definitely painted by Fra Angelico, represent Fra Angelico at his strongest and purest.

Castilians, who manage to scratch a living from the harsh earth, are a tough, grave and proud people. They speak the purest Spanish of Spain. The climate is "nine months of winter, three of hell." The land is a windswept steppe, almost a desert. "The most magnificent monotony in the whole world," says Sacheverell Sitwell. It has been said of Spain that it seems more a part of Africa than of Europe...
