Text Quotes
In an atmosphere of uniform density the most distant things seen through it, such as the mountains, in consequence of the great quantity of atmosphere which is between your eye and them, will appear blue. Therefore you should make the building... wall which is more distant less defined and bluer... five times as far away, make five times as blue  (The Great Quotes) We are in truth, more than half what we are by imitation. The great point is to choose good models and to study them with care  (The Great Quotes) The great poems of heaven and hell have been written and the great poem of earth remains to be written  (The Great Quotes) The greatest difficulty in the world is not for people to accept new ideas, but to make them forget old ideas  (The Great Quotes) The great man... walks across his century and leaves the marks of his feet all over it, ripping out the dates on his goloshes as he passes  (The Great Quotes) The spoken discourse may roll on strongly as the great tidal wave; but, like the wave, it dies at last feebly on the sands. It is heard by few, remembered by still fewer, and fades away, like an echo in the mountains, leaving no token of power. It is the written human speech, that gave power and permanence to human thought  (The Great Quotes) The great inlet by which a colour for oppression has entered into the world is by one man’s pretending to determine concerning the happiness of another  (The Great Quotes) Enemies could become the best companions. Companionship is based on a common interest, and the greater the interest the closer the companionship. What makes enemies of people, if not the eagerness, the passion for the same thing?  (The Great Quotes) I had to become the greatest choreographer of my time. That was my mission, and that’s what I set out to do  (The Great Quotes) The man who is completely wise and virtuous has no need of glory, except so far as it disposes and eases his way to action by the greater trust that it procures him  (The Great Quotes) The question that faces every man born into this world is not what should be his purpose, which he should set about to achieve, but just what to do with life? The answer, that he should order his life so that he can find the greatest happiness in it, is more a practical question, similar to that of how a man should spend his weekend, then a metaphysical proposition as to what is the mystic purpose of his life in the scheme of the universe  (The Great Quotes) How shall we pass most swiftly from point to point, and be present always at the focus where the greatest number of vital forces unite in their purest energy?  (The Great Quotes) There is never any fair and thorough discussion of heretical opinions... The greatest harm done is to those who are not heretics, and whose whole mental development is cramped and their reason cowed, by the fear of heresy  (The Great Quotes) I believe that it may happen that one will succeed, and one must not begin to despair, even though defeated here and there; and even though one sometimes feels a kind of decay, though things go differently from the expected, it is necessary to take heart again and new courage. For the great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. And great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed. What is drawing? How does one learn it? It is working through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do  (The Great Quotes) The great artist is a formulation of the greatest intelligence: he is the recipient of sensations which are the most delicate and consequently the most invisible expressions of the brain  (The Great Quotes) The cyclone ends. The sun returns; the lofty coconut trees lift up their plumes again; man does likewise. The great anguish is over; joy has returned; the sea smiles like a child  (The Great Quotes) Contrary to the vulgar belief that men are motivated primarily by materialistic considerations, we now see the capitalist system being discredited and destroyed all over the world, even though this system has given men the greatest material comforts  (The Great Quotes) Feminist art is not some tiny creek running off the great river of real art. It is not some crack in an otherwise flawless stone. It is, quite spectacularly, art which is not based on the subjugation of one half of the species  (The Great Quotes) The greatest unsolved mysteries are the mysteries of our existence as conscious beings in a small corner of a vast universe  (The Great Quotes) Just think you are the greatest. Where’s the harm in thinking like that? It is not for pride you do it, but for bringing the best out of you. There is nothing wrong  (The Great Quotes) Action based on reason, action therefore which is only to be understood by reason, knows only one end, the greatest pleasure of the acting individual  (The Great Quotes) One of the great breakthroughs of evolution theory is that you start with simple things and they will grow into complexity  (The Great Quotes) The great use of copying, if it be at all useful, should seem to be in learning color; yet even coloring will never be perfectly attained by servilely copying the model before you  (The Great Quotes) The great end of all arts is to make an impression on the imagination and the feeling. The imitation of nature frequently does this. Sometimes it fails and something else succeeds  (The Great Quotes) Though colour may appear at first a part of painting merely mechanical, yet it still has its rules, and those grounded upon that presiding principle which regulates both the great and the little in the study of a painter  (The Great Quotes) Experience alone can give, even to the greatest talent, that confidence in having done all that could be done  (The Great Quotes) That’s the greatest applause that any person will ever receive in their life when it comes from their peers  (The Great Quotes) In spite of the extraordinary outpouring of totally and partially new products and new ways of doing things that we are witnessing today, by far the greatest flow of newness is not innovation at all. Rather, it is imitation  (The Great Quotes) America has the greatest reputation in the world for helping others whenever and wherever disaster strikes. Now, more than ever,it’s important for us to contribute to those who are in need. Your assistance is really beneficial and will be greatly welcomed and appreciated  (The Great Quotes) The man who is free from credulity, but knows the uncreated, who has cut all ties, removed all temptations, renounced all desires, he is the greatest of men  (The Great Quotes)
