"... Dawn glows along the shore of a lagoon near the sea three millions of years ago in Montana. The landscape is of low relief; sycamores and ginkgo trees mingle with figs, palms and bananas. There are few twittering birds in the tree-tops and no herds of grazing animals to greet the early sun. A huge herbivorous dinosaur Trachodon, coming on shore for some favorite food, has been seized and partly eaten by a giant Tyrannosaurus. Whilst this monster is ravenously consuming the carcass another Tyrannosaurus draws near determined to dispute the prey. The stooping animal hesitates, partly rises and prepares to spring on its opponent. With colossal bodies poised on massive hind legs and steadied by long tails, ponderous heads armed with sharp dagger-like teeth three to five inches long, front limbs exceedingly small but set for a powerful clutch, they are the very embodiment of dynamic animal force."
Barnum Brown, "Tyrannosaurus, the Largest Flesh-Eating Animal That Ever Lived" in: The American Museum Journal. 1915

“Someone might object that the more the work tends towards the multiplication of possibilities, the further it departs from the 'author'. But I would answer: Who are we, who is each one of us, if not a combination of experiences, information, things imagined? Each life is an encyclopedia, a library, an inventory of objects, a series of styles.”
