I Am Quotes

I am not a perfect friend, and it is impossible not to rebuff or be rebuffed if you move about the world Picture Quote #1

While I am impulsive in many areas of my life, marriage is not one of them Picture Quote #1

I love doing interviews that are about work that I do, films that I make. I am not very interested in the rest. I think I have always been quite reserved and a bit frightened of that whole thing Picture Quote #1

Yes, I have four children. Four children with whom I spend a good part of every day: bathing them, combing their hair, sitting with them while they do their homework, holding them while they weep their tragic tears. But I’m not in love with any of them. I am in love with my husband Picture Quote #1

When my wife gets mad at me, I remind myself that she is much smarter than I am and so I probably deserve it, even if I don’t really understand it! Picture Quote #1

I am also well aware that literature only has a minimal influence on political disputes or economic crises in the world, but its significance to human beings is ancient Picture Quote #1

Too much preaching nowadays pats the back and tickles the ear, but does not get under the skin. There is no conviction and therefore no conversion. I am thinking not only of the ministry of reproof and rebuke but also of the message of inspiration, of encouragement, of comfort. People go out of church at noon with the depths unstirred, the heart untouched, the conscience unpricked Picture Quote #1

As a writer, I am not goddess of the universes I create. I am at most a stage manager of the plentiful gifts which tumble out of the horn of plenty, which is to say there is a source so sweet and forgiving and generous that I pray every day to let that source be my guide Picture Quote #1

I am convinced that a good building must be capable of absorbing the traces of human life and taking on a specific richness... I think of the patina of age on materials, of innumerable small scratches on surfaces, of varnish that has grown dull and brittle, and of edges polished by use Picture Quote #1

I’m not going to change who I am just because people think it’s weird. The only way I’m going to have a great season is by starting out happy and balanced and continuing to be me. It might be unconventional, but to feel good about life I need to have some adventure Picture Quote #1

Everyday I am reminded that our life’s journey is really about the people that touch us Picture Quote #1

I am told many children block out the memory of trauma. In fact, the healing process can only truly begin when we are willing to remember Picture Quote #1

From my perspective, I absolutely believe in a greater spiritual power, far greater than I am, from which I have derived strength in moments of sadness or fear. That’s what I believe, and it was very, very strong in the forest Picture Quote #1

I am like a drop of water on a rock. After drip, drip, dripping in the same place, I begin to leave a mark, and I leave my mark in many people’s hearts Picture Quote #1

I sometimes forget that life is fragile. The fact that I have more time to dream my dreams and take my ease is no reason at all to disregard the moment I’m in by preferring to be somewhere else. I have to remind myself that wherever I am... fast lane or slow lane, in traffic or out of traffic, racing or resting... God is there. He is in me, abiding in me, thus making it possible for me to be all there, myself Picture Quote #1

My worst day is still a really good day. I complain, but I catch myself and count my blessings. I am truly blessed Picture Quote #1

I am young in my energy because I really still believe that we can share who we are, and we can wipe off on each other. I see this huge tapestry when we’re born, and this red blob that’s your soul or your heart Picture Quote #1

I know that in many things I am not like others, but I do not know what I really am like. Man cannot compare himself with any other creature; he is not a monkey, not a cow, not a tree. I am a man. But what is it to be that? Like every other being, I am a splinter of the infinite deity, but I cannot contrast myself with any animal, any plant or any stone. Only a mythical being has a range greater than man’s. How then can man form any definite opinions about himself? Picture Quote #1

By amusing myself with all these games, all this nonsense, all these picture puzzles, I became famous... I am only a public entertainer who has understood his time Picture Quote #1

I don’t know in advance what I am going to put on canvas any more than I decide beforehand what colours I am going to use Picture Quote #1

While I am working I am not conscious of what I am putting on the canvas Picture Quote #1

Come what may, I am bound to think that all things are ordered for the best; though when the good is a furlong off, and we with our beetle eyes can only see three inches, it takes some confidence in general principles to pull us through Picture Quote #1

What use is my mind? Granted that it enables me to hail a bus and to pay my fare. But once I am inside my studio, what use is my mind? I have my model, my pencil, my paints. My mind doesn’t interest me Picture Quote #1

I am increasingly an architect of self. I am free to will and choose. I can, through accepting my individuality... become more of my uniqueness, more of my potentiality Picture Quote #1

I’m quite content: although what I’m doing is far from being as I should like, I am complemented often enough all the same Picture Quote #1

You might perhaps like to see the few canvases I was able to save from the bailiffs and the rest, since I thought you might be so good as to help me a little, as I am in quite a desperate state, and the worst is that I can no longer even work Picture Quote #1

I’m knocked out, I’ve never felt so physically and mentally exhausted, I’m quite stupid with it and long only for bed; but I am happy Picture Quote #1

I am pleased with the exhibition... everything on display was sold for a good price to decent people. It has been a long time since I believed that you could educate public taste Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent so long on some paintings that I no longer know what to think of them, and I am definitely getting harder to please; nothing satisfies me Picture Quote #1

I sometimes feel ashamed that I am devoting myself to artistic pursuits while so many of our people are suffering and dying for us. It’s true that fretting never did any good Picture Quote #1
