Text Quotes
When the dog is repeatedly teased with the sight of objects inducing salivary secretion from a distance, the reaction of the salivary glands grows weaker and weaker and finally drops to zero (Objects Quotes)
I want the unobtainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat, and that’s the end. They are finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat, the beauty of the air in which these objects are located, and that is nothing short of impossible (Objects Quotes)
What I have to do is utilize as best I can the ideas which objects suggest to me, connect, fuse, and color in my way the shadows they cast within me, illumine them from the inside. And since of necessity my vision is quite different from that of the next man, my painting will interpret things in an entirely different manner even though it makes use of the same elements (Objects Quotes)
Once I began to consider everything as being of potential interest, objects released latent layers of value (Objects Quotes)
Art class was like a religious ceremony to me. I would wash my hands carefully before touching paper or pencils. The instruments of work were sacred objects to me (Objects Quotes)
Children are overbearing, supercilious, passionate, envious, inquisitive, egotistical, idle, fickle, timid, intemperate, liars, and dissemblers; they laugh and weep easily, are excessive in their joys and sorrows, and that about the most trifling objects; they bear no pain, but like to inflict it on others; already they are men (Objects Quotes)
Some paradox of our natures leads us, when once we have made our fellow men the objects of our enlightened interest, to go on to make them the objects of our pity, then of our wisdom, ultimately of our coercion (Objects Quotes)
A man sees only what concerns him... How much more, then, it requires different intentions of the eye and of the mind to attend to different departments of knowledge! How differently the poet and the naturalist look at objects! (Objects Quotes)
Take the time and do some small thing that will be noticed and remembered. Choose your objects carefully, and buy only what you love (Objects Quotes)
The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves (Objects Quotes)
Juggling is very, very straightforward; very, very black and white; you’re manipulating objects, not people. And that’s always appealed to me (Objects Quotes)
There is an invisible strength within us; when it recognizes two opposing objects of desire, it grows stronger (Objects Quotes)
If smallness was fortune, then I had come across a treasure, infinitesimal and beyond value. I felt lucky. You had to decide what was estimable and precious in your life and set out to find it. The objects you valued defined you (Objects Quotes)
What we seek, at the deepest level, is inwardly to resemble, rather than physically to possess, the objects and places that touch us through their beauty (Objects Quotes)
Should I be grateful or should I curse the fact that despite all misfortune I can still feel love, an unearthly love but still for earthly objects (Objects Quotes)
Purer colors... have in themselves, independently of the objects they serve to express, a significant action on the feelings of those who look at them (Objects Quotes)
A good painter has two main objects to paint, man and the intention of his soul (Objects Quotes)
Our days are a kaleidoscope. Every instant a change takes place in the contents. New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every sort. Nothing ever happens twice alike. The most familiar people stand each moment in some new relation to each other, to their work, to surrounding objects. The most tranquil house, with the most serene inhabitants, living upon the utmost regularity of system, is yet exemplifying infinite diversities (Objects Quotes)
The clouds were drifting over the moon at their giddiest speed, at one time wholly obscuring her, at another, suffering her to burst forth in full splendor and shed her light on all the objects around; anon, driving over her again, with increased velocity, and shrouding everything in darkness (Objects Quotes)
It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts (Objects Quotes)
Morning drew on apace. The air became more sharp and piercing, as its first dull hue: the death of night, rather than the birth of day: glimmered faintly in the sky. The objects which had looked dim and terrible in the darkness, grew more and more defined, and gradually resolved into their familiar shapes. The rain came down, thick and fast; and pattered, noisily, among the leafless bushes (Objects Quotes)
As the war was just in its origin and necessary and noble in its objects, we can reflect with a proud satisfaction that in carrying it on no principle of justice or honor, no usage of civilized nations, no precept of courtesy or humanity, have been infringed (Objects Quotes)
Which is why we cannot say of the purloined letter that, like other objects, it must be or not be in a particular place but that unlike them it will be and not be where it is, wherever it goes (Objects Quotes)
The eye of the intellect sees in all objects what it brought with it the means of seeing (Objects Quotes)
It is only in the world of objects that we have time and space and selves (Objects Quotes)
To be an artist is not a matter of making paintings or objects at all. What we are really dealing with is our state of consciousness and the shape of our perceptions (Objects Quotes)
One principle reason why men are so often useless is that they divide and shift their attention among a multiplicity of objects and pursuits (Objects Quotes)
That is the great distinction between the sexes. Men see objects, women see the relationships between objects (Objects Quotes)
If I am going somewhere exotic, I take an empty suitcase with me to bring back the objects I fall in love with. (Objects Quotes)
The whole arrangement of my picture is expressive. The place occupied by the figures or objects, the empty spaces around them, the proportions, everything plays a part. (Objects Quotes)
