Grant Woods Quotations

All the good ideas I ever had came to me while I was milking a cow

As I see it, the most effective way to do this is frankly to accept these historical tales for what they are now known to be - folklore - and treat them in such a fashion that the realistic-minded, sophisticated people of our generation accept them... I sincerely hope that this painting will help reawaken interest in the cherry tree tale and other bits of American folklore that are too good to lose.

This is the beginning of the end for this conspiracy of lies and deception that has been perpetrated on the American people by the tobacco companies. Someone is finally telling the truth.
