“Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know.

I have to say, that even though I might possess the ability to get easily fascinated by nice and creative things, I was nearly left without words by Rumsfeld’s upper quote which somebody has choosen to present on his Facebook profil.

Rumsfeld – Recent Works by the Secretary of Defense“, where several quotes have been uncovered as what they are: Serious pieces of art.
