“Eisenhower had about the most expressive face I ever painted, I guess. Just like an actor's. Very mobile. When he talked, he used all the facial muscles. And he had a great, wide mouth that I liked. When he smiled, it was just like the sun came out.”

“Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.”

“The more elaborate his labyrinths, the further from the Sun his face.”
