Suzanne Fiol at the original ISSUE Project Room space at 619 E 6th Street in the East Village, December 17, 2004

Her impact on the world will be felt for a very long time. I miss her terribly...

M.K. Gandhi quote from Gandhi Smitri (New Delhi, India) - 090928

It has been my misfortune or good fortune to take the world by surprise. New experiments, or old experiments in new style, must sometimes engender misunderstanding.

M.K Gandhi

[One of hundreds of quotes posted on the wall at Gandhi Smitri in Delhi, the site where Gandhiji lived his last 144 days and where he was shot by a Hindu extremist on 30 January 1947]
