[QUOTE]Nice. Are you going to photo transfer?? Or just print and paint on top?

I'm going to do the speech in calligraphy (i just bought some great ink colors), watercolour wash, do a mix of acrylic transfers and woodcut prints, bring in some dry brushing (I want an old wood-grain border), add some details (mostly graphite i think) and then accent with some dry pastels (like for adding graffiti to the berlin wall)

I think. But who knows where it will roll. 7 piece series, each will be around 24x36

I think I am a little late on this, but what about Kruschev's "We will bury you" speech at the Polish Embassy? Might look cool, especially if you were to write it in Russian.

NYC was the first capitol of the USA. If you go down Wall St., you'll find a very small museum dedicated to the US presidency with an extremely large statue of George out front. He looks down the front of the Stock Exchange (the side with the giant American flag).

I know this one is really old, but you could use the Latin "Carthago delenda est." Carthage must be destroyed. I'm a Latin teacher, Ancient Rome is my life.

May be too late to the party- but Abigail Adams letters to John Adams when she told him "do not forget the women" when writing about men being endowed with certain inaleinable rights. She wrote some pretty great stuff.

Viczaesar · March 2012

There's a speech in Euripides' Medea that was used extensively in the women's suffrage movement.

Of all creatures that have life and reason230
we women are the sorriest lot:
first we must at a great expenditure of money
buy a husband and even take on a master
over our body: this evil is more galling than the first.
Here is the most challenging contest, whether we will get a bad man235
or a good one. Besides, divorce is unsavory
for a woman and it is not possible to say no to one's husband.
And when she comes into new customs and rules
a woman must be a prophet of what she could never learn at home:
how best to deal with her marriage partner;240
and if we get it worked out well and a husband shares
our life with us, and he bears the yoke without violence,
life is to be envied. Otherwise we are better off dead.
But the man, when he is bored with things at home
he can go out to ease the weariness of his heart.[13] 245
But we have just one person to look to.
They say that we live a life free of danger
at home while they face battle with the spear.
How wrong they are. I would rather stand three times250
in the line of battle than once bear a child.
But the same story does not apply to you and me.
You have this city and your father's home,
enjoyment of life, and the companionship of friends,
but, alone and without a city, I am abused 255
by my husband, carried off as plunder from a foreign land,
I have no mother, no brother, no relative
to offer me a safe haven from this disaster.
I ask you this one small favor:
if some way or means can be found260
to make my husband pay for this abuse [and the father of the bride and the bride herself][14]
— keep it silent. For a woman in all other things is full of fear
and a coward when it comes to looking on deeds of valor and the sword
but when she is wronged in her marriage265
there is no heart more bloodthirsty.

If it hasn't been said before, Churchill's Iron Curtain speech and Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalin at the XX Congress.
