Pic of the Day: “I came to Paris to study and to paint, because Utrillo did, and Lautrec did, and Roualt did. I loved what they created and I thought something would happen to me too. Well, it happened all right. Now, what have I got left? Paris. Maybe that’s enough for some, but it isn’t for me anymore, because the more beautiful everything is, the more it will hurt without you.” (75th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “You wrote me that when you got home, you and I were going to be married. If you wrote that once, you wrote it a hundred times. Isn’t that true?” “Yes, but things are different now.” “Have you changed your mind?” “Have I said anything about changing my mind?” “No. That’s just it. You haven’t said anything about anything… I don’t know what to think, Homer. All I know is, I was in love with you when you left and I’m in love with you now. Other things may have changed but that hasn’t.” (80th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “On September 3rd 1973, at 6:28pm and 32 seconds, a bluebottle fly capable of 14,670 wing beats a minute landed on Rue St Vincent, Montmartre. At the same moment, on a restaurant terrace nearby, the wind magically made two glasses dance unseen on a tablecloth. Meanwhile, in a 5th-floor flat, 28 Avenue Trudaine, Paris 9, returning from his best friend’s funeral, Eugène Colère erased his name from his address book. At the same moment, a sperm with one X chromosome, belonging to Raphaël Poulain, made a dash for an egg in his wife Amandine. Nine months later, Amélie Poulain was born.” (25th Anniversary)

Pic of the Day: “Ladies and gentlemen, I won’t take up too much more of your time. It’s been a long trial, and I don’t want you to be away from your families any longer than you have to. I realize I said a lot of things in this courtroom and I hope I didn’t offend nobody. But I just wanted to show you that I’m not a gangster. I’m just a gagster. I’m not gonna read from this. I promised you a long time ago I would speak from the heart. Now, I know the government tried piling up all this evidence in front of you. They showed you photos and you think it’s me and my friends meeting together, it’s probably some kind of criminal conspiracy. You see this picture? You recognize that one in the middle? That’s me. The rest of the guys are some of these men here as children. This was, of course, way long before the government ever knew who Jackie DiNorscio was, who was standing on a corner outside of an ice-cream parlor. And you know what we were doing that day? We were conspiring to buy ice cream. If they had a RICO law back then, they probably would have locked us up. Now, I know it’s tough to decide who to believe in this case. For 600 days, you guys have been sittin’ here. They came in with tape after tape, witness after witness. And they were trying to fill your mind with so much baloney that in the end you’d think, ‘Oh, God, there’s so much there. There has to be something to it.’ Ladies and gentlemen if you believe anything that any of those witnesses has said or if you feel that the prosecutor was right, then I beg you, please, don’t take it out on my friends here. If you have to blame someone, then find me guilty. You heard me right. Find me guilty, and let these men go home to their families. You see, I already lost mine. And I don’t want their kids to lose their fathers ’cause of Uncle Jackie. So, send me to jail. I’m not guilty, but I’m used to it.” (20th Anniversary)
