• We have got to start loving life and the living. We have to respect that thing which we cannot create, which is life and stop taking it from people and stop taking it from things. Stop taking it. We can't make it. We can't reproduce one single person.
  Maya Angelou Quotes - Poets
• Even within the most beautiful landscape, in the trees, under the leaves the insects are eating each other; violence is a part of life.
  Francis Bacon Quotes - Artists
• We are born with a scream; we come into life with a scream, and maybe love is a mosquito net between the fear of living and the fear of death.
  Francis Bacon Quotes - Artists
• Flesh and meat are life! If I paint red meat as I paint bodies it is just because I find it very beautiful.
  Francis Bacon Quotes - Artists
• I think that's what I love about my life. There's no maniacal master plan. It's just unfolding before me.
  Cate Blanchett Quotes - Actresses
  
• No one owns life, but anyone who can pick up a frying pan owns death.
  William Burroughs Quotes - Poets
• To live in love is to live in life, and to live in life is to live in love.
  Leo Buscaglia Quotes - Self Improvement
• Life is our greatest possession and love its greatest affirmation.
  Leo Buscaglia Quotes - Self Improvement
  
• The desire to survive and the fear of death are artistic sentiments.
  Salvador Dali Quotes - Artists
• Musicians have always educated people through music, you know even though now a days a lot of music just talks about sex, women, and drugs. Music I think should be teaching and talking to people about important things in life.
  Lucky Dube Quotes - Singers
• Death is funny in that it brings out the best and worst in people. It casts light on the truth and makes life blindingly clear.
  Allison DuBois Quotes - Motivational
• What a funny thing painting is. The abstract painters always insist on their connection with the visible reality, while the so called figurative artists insist that what they really care about, is the abstract qualities of life.
  Marlene Dumas Quotes - Woman Artists - Artists
• I felt like it's my time to shine, I have to rip this. At that time, I felt that it was a life or death situation.
  Eminem Quotes - Singers
• A life of sacrifice is the pinnacle of art, and is full of true joy.
  Mahatma Gandhi Quotes - Motivational
• Babies are my inspiration and my joy. In them, I see innocence and the precious possibilities of each life unfolding. In my images, I hope to convey a measure of the beauty that exists in all children.
  Anne Geddes Quotes - Women - Photographers
• I have a deep love and respect for children and I cannot imagine photographic life without them playing a major part. I hope that through my work as a photographer, I have been able to pass on my appreciation of their beauty and charm.
  Anne Geddes Quotes - Women - Photographers
• One of the weaknesses of much abstract painting is the attempt to substitute the inventions of the intellect for a pristine imaginative conception. The inner life of a human being is a vast and varied realm and does not concern itself alone with stimulating arrangements of color, form and design. The term 'life' as used in art is something not to be held in contempt, for it applies all of its existence, and the province of art is to react to it and not to shun it. Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again be great.
  Edward Hopper Quotes - Artists
  
• There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate life now.
  Angelina Jolie Quotes - Actresses
• I don’t read the gossip. But it is never nice to be caught up in a whirlwind of a bunch of stuff and the world feeling they have an opinion about your life and your family.
  Angelina Jolie Quotes - Actresses
• From the living fountain of instinct flows everything that is creative; hence the unconscious is not merely conditioned by history, but is the very source of the creative impulse. It is like Nature herself - prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation.
  CG Jung Quotes - Motivational People
• Over the years I have found that many of the richest people in the world began their lives with the habit of tithing.
  Robert Kiyosaki Quotes - money - Business People
• I'm just following the Irish tradition of songwriting, the Irish way of life, the human way of life. Cram as much pleasure into life, and rail against the pain you have to suffer as a result. Or scream and rant with the pain, and wait for it to be taken away with beautiful pleasure.
  Shane MacGowan Quotes - Singers
• I am unable to make any distinction between the feeling I get from life and the way I translate that feeling into painting.
  Henri Matisse Quotes - Artists
• My whole life has been spent walking by the side of a bottomless chasm, jumping from stone to stone. Somtimes I try to leave my narrow path and join the swirling mainstream of life, but I always find myself drawn inexorably back towards the chasm's edge, and there I shall walk until the day I finally fall into the abyss. For as long as I can remember I have suffered from a deep feeling of anxiety which I have tried to express in my art. Without anxiety and illness I should have been like a ship without a rudder.
  Edvard Munch Quotes - Artists
• Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
  Pablo Picasso Quotes - Spanish Artists
• I felt a tremendous affinity with Van Goghs deep feeling for the things he painted and how he exaggerated the colors of sky, chairs, faces, to bring them to almost more than life.
  Susan Rothenberg Quotes - Female Artists - Artists
• Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive.. the risk to be alive and express what we really are.
  Don Miguel Ruiz Quotes - Self Improvement
• We need to know ourselves better so that we can realize what we really want in our life. I think that the first condition for a person to be in a successful relationship is to be happy with the person he or she is, in other words to love themselves.
  Tarkan Quotes - Singers
• Dawn and sunset are the times when Nature herself is unstable and in flux. The nocturnal world and the daytime world are meeting, and for a brief time coexisting. It's not a neat hard cut, but a blurred, irregular dissolve. These moments are the seams in existence through which we can get a glimpse of the deeper, fundamentally random, chance workings of a system in which we are only a small, insignificant player.
  Bill Viola Quotes - life quotes - Artists - Video Artists
• All a record company is is a bank, and they loan you a little money to make a record and then they own you for the rest of your life. You don't even own your own work.
  Tom Waits Quotes - Singers
• Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.
  Andy Warhol Quotes - weird - American Artists
  
• I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of 'work', because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don't always want to do.
  Andy Warhol Quotes - American Artists
  
• I really do live for the future, because when I'm eating a box of candy, I can't wait to taste the last piece.
