In Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale, James Bond invents and orders a Kina Lillet martini, which he named the "Vesper" after his love interest in the story. He asks the bartender for a dry Martini, a fraction of a second later he adds to the order: "Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet."
Another gracious host on our sojourn down south: Cecile Bernhard!! She happens to be the manager of Lillet and filled us to the brim of this delightful drink to be enjoyed before dinner with good conversation.

Louis Kahn:
I once gave myself an assignment: to draw a picture that demonstrates light. Now if you give yourself such an assignment the first thing you do is escape somewhere, because it is impossible to do. You say that a white piece of paper is the illustration; what else to do? But when I put a stroke of ink on the paper, I realized that the black and white was where the light was not, and then I could really make a drawing, because I could be discerning where I put the black.
