There are a few great works that make me feel really happy, or angry, but this one gives me a mixture of pride, sadness, and some others I find hard to describe.
What do you guys have?

That is one that I have always found thought provoking. I have wanted to get a copy for my office for some time.

Like the outcome after an exam, death makes us aware of anything, That is, it’s too late to take a tumble. ________wow leveling (http://www.wowgold1000.com/wow-power-leveling.html) power leveling (http://www.wowgold800.com/) ffxi power leveling (http://www.wowgold800.com/ffxi-power-leveling.html) aoc power leveling (http://www.wowgold800.com/rs-power-leveling.html) rs power leveling (http://www.wowgold800.com/rs-power-leveling.html) from www.wowgold1000.com (http://www.wowgold1000.com)

Yeah, that's a good one. One of the most moving experiences I've ever had was walking along The Wall. I grew up with friends whose dads served in Vietnam and I saw first hand how the war and the aftermath affected them. Reminds me of the Poison song "Something to Believe In"
Twenty-two years of mental tears
Cries a suicidal Vietnam vet
Who fought a losing war on a foreign shore
To find his country didn't want him back
Their bullets took his best friend in Saigon
Our lawyers took his wife and kids, no regrets
In a time I don't remember
In a war he can't forget

When I was 5 I took a pre-school art class from a Indian painter named Oscar Howe, unfortunately he passed away months later. He also designed the murals on the Corn Palace for many years, I always will remember that experience and to this day I'm still facinated with his artwork. Everytime I go back home I stop by the Oscar Howe Museum (which is located in an old Carnige Library) and make a donation. In fact my thesis project for Architecture was a new Oscar Howe Museum :)

Reminds me of the Firefox logo...
When I was a kid I was always fascinated with a book of art my parents had. My favorite was Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte painted by Georges-Pierre Seurat. Imagine my surprise when Cameron Frye from Ferris Bueller's Day Off liked it to.
