The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.

— Hans Hofmann, quoted in Zen and the Art of Stand-up Comedy (1998)



To understand matters rightly we should understand their details, and as that knowledge is almost infinite, our knowledge is always superficial and imperfect.

— François VI, Duc de La Rochefoucauld, Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims (1665–1678)



Be pitiful, for every man is fighting a hard battle.

— Ian Maclaren, The British Weekly (1898)



We must remember that our greatest strength is in our love of life and colors, beauty and music, dancing and joy. That is our secret weapon. That is something that the opposition does not have. Keep those things near and dear to your heart because in times of war that will sustain you.

— RuPaul Andre Charles, Billboard (2017)

Hip, Hip, Hurrah!
Hip, Hip, Hurrah! is an oil-on-canvas painting from 1888 by the Danish painter Peder Severin Krøyer. The work shows various members of the Skagen Painters, a group of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish artists who formed a loose community in Skagen, at the northern tip of Jutland, in the 1880s and early 1890s. Krøyer began the painting in 1884 after a party at Michael Ancher's house, with the composition inspired by photographs taken at the celebration by the German artist Fritz Stoltenberg, although the individuals featured are not all the same. A dispute arose between Krøyer and Ancher the following day when the former returned uninvited to continue work on the piece, and although they reconciled Krøyer was not permitted to use Ancher's garden as the setting. The Swedish art collector Pontus Fürstenberg bought the painting before it was completed, and it was displayed at Charlottenborg in 1888. He later donated the work to the Gothenburg Museum of Art, where it has hung since.Painting credit: Peder Severin Krøyer; photographed by Hossein Sehatlou
