I asked him what, if anything, got him down about teaching. He said he didn't think that anything about it got him exactly down, but there was one thing, he thought, that frightened him: reading the pencilled notations in the margins of books in the college library. J. D. Salinger
But in our opinion truths of this kind should be drawn from notions rather than from notations. Carl Friedrich Gauss
I paint to rest from the phenomena of the external world-to pronounce and to make notations of its essences with which to verify the inner eye. Morris Graves
