Praxiteles - A noted famous Greek sculptor (fifth century BC) of figures from
classic myths. His "Aphrodite of Cnidus" (second only to the "Zeus" of
Phidias) was the most highly admired statue of antiquity. He made two statues
of Aphrodite, one with conventional drapery, the other a nude - said to have
been the first time a female figure had been made without drapery. The
Athenians bought the conventional figure, the people of Cnidus took the nude.

lwvanels (Lucien Van Elsen):
life is a rose garden
and even roses have thorns
but some wandered off the path
and got pricked
and hurt and bled
some cut down the bushes
and ruined the garden
for themselves
some built walls
walls to keep the thorns at bay
and also barred the roses
others thrashed in anger
and only hurt themselves more
and the rest of them
got back onto the path
admired the Roses
