A saboteur in the house of art and a comedienne in the house of art theory, Lawler has spent three decades documenting the secret life of art. Functioning as a kind of one-woman CSI unit, she has photographed pictures and objects in collectors' homes, in galleries, on the walls of auction houses, and off the walls, in museum storage.

A sad fact of life lately at the Museum of Modern Art is that when it comes to group shows of contemporary painting from the collection, the bar has been set pretty low.
‐‐ Jerry Saltz
A sad person who is so involved with his sadness that he mistakes it for reality will have a hard time seeing himself as anything but sad. For him, the sadness is not a feeling that he experiences - it is him.

‐‐ Doug Ose
A safe and nutritionally adequate diet is a basic individual right and an essential condition for sustainable development, especially in developing countries.
‐‐ Gro Harlem Brundtland
A safe but sometimes chilly way of recalling the past is to force open a crammed drawer. If you are searching for anything in particular you don't find it, but something falls out at the back that is often more interesting.

A safe fairyland is untrue to all worlds.
‐‐ J. R. R. Tolkien
A safety net for the poor indeed requires some level of income redistribution.

A saint is a person who gives of themself without asking for anything in return. That's how simple it is to be a saint. Try it! Try being a saint.

A sane person doesn't think war is a good idea.
‐‐ Bruce Cockburn
A sane person doesn't think war is a good idea. I'm not a pacifist. I feel that there are situations where fighting is inescapable, but we don't go looking for those things.
‐‐ Bruce Cockburn
A sane person would think that Wal-Mart would never carry 'Capitalism: A Love Story' because it's simply not in their best interests to inform their customers of their shady past.

‐‐ John Dos Passos
A satisfied customer is the best business strategy of all.
‐‐ Michael LeBoeuf
A savage review is much more entertaining for the reader than an admiring one; the little misanthrope in each of us relishes the rubbishing of someone else.

A scenario is, everyone takes gene therapy - not just curing rare diseases like cystic fibrosis, but diseases that everyone has, like aging.

A scene gets cut a few frames here and there, but there's a cumulative effect to it, and then the music needs to be reworked. It's demanding, but when you see the improved cuts, it's always better.
‐‐ Atticus Ross
A scene has to have a rhythm of its own, a structure of its own.
‐‐ Michelangelo Antonioni
A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time.
‐‐ Annie Dillard
A schedule so tight that it would only work if I didn't sleep on Monday nights.
‐‐ Alan Jay Lerner
A scholar who cherishes the love of comfort is not fit to be deemed a scholar.

A school out of Canberra sends me a term's worth of work. I sit on the couch by myself and complete it and send it back.
‐‐ Callan McAuliffe
A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.
‐‐ Vince Lombardi
A Schubert song, the A-major chord at the opening of Wagner's 'Lohengrin' - such incredible beauty is a mystery, the divinity of music.
‐‐ Gian Carlo Menotti
A science is something which is constructed from truth on workable axioms. There are 55 axioms in scientology which are very demonstrably true, and on these can be constructed a great deal.
‐‐ L. Ron Hubbard
A science which does not bring us nearer to God is worthless.
‐‐ Simone Weil
A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone.
‐‐ Charles Darwin
A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
‐‐ Max Planck
A scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales.
‐‐ Marie Curie
A scientist is an unlikely character to put at the center of a movie.
‐‐ Bill Condon
A scientist is in a sense a learned small boy. There is something of the scientist in every small boy. Others must outgrow it. Scientists can stay that way all their lives.

‐‐ Leo Szilard
A scientist should be the happiest of men.
‐‐ George Wald
A scientist worthy of a lab coat should be able to make original discoveries while wearing a clown suit, or give a lecture in a high squeaky voice from inhaling helium. It is written nowhere in the math of probability theory that one may have no fun.
‐‐ Eliezer Yudkowsky
A scientist worthy of his name, about all a mathematician, experiences in his work the same impression as an artist; his pleasure is as great and of the same nature.
