"The City of Chicago tried to give us pride of place...as San Francisco did...but "Assyrians" wouldn't stand for it...because it runs counter to beggary...it gives real cause for pride...and if you allow too much of that, people might stop placing their "faith" in begging someone else...and start doing for themselves...and that would mean distancing ourselves from the "Faith" that first taught us to beg."

Maggie wrote in 1992:
"I hope you will continue your support for the arts in general and Assyrian artists in particular, because they can help our nation create a visible culture by which we can define our identity not only for ourselves, but for the entire world."

"If we do not engage in the creation and promotion of our own art and culture, we will be forced to create someone else's culture."

From a lecture on Assyrian Art and Artist.
