• I think when you get to the point where you don't need to be in love, then you could be in love. You have to just be OK with yourself.. and that's a long process.
  John Cusack Quotes - Actors
• The attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves.
  Willem de Kooning Quotes - Artists
• If one paints someone's portrait, one should not know him if possible. No knowledge. I do not want to know him at all. I want only to see what is there, the outside. The inner follows by itself. It is mirrored in the visible.
  Otto Dix Quotes - art advice - Artists
• 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
• Modigliani had too much respect for the feelings of human beings to turn them into grotesque, hostile monsters, as Picasso did. It is also the reason Modigliani’s figures are never menacing and confrontational, but seem to recede into the private space of their inner selves.
  Donald Kuspit Quotes - other artists - Art Critics
• I have simply wished to assert the reasoned and independent feeling of my own individuality within a total knowledge of tradition.
  Henri Matisse Quotes - Artists
• 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
• Don’t be afraid of being unique. It’s like being afraid of your best self.
  Donald Trump Quotes - Business People
• For the Persian poet Rumi, each human life is analogous to a bowl floating on the surface of an infinite ocean. As it moves along, it is slowly filling with the water around it. That's a metaphor for the acquisition of knowledge. When the water in the bowl finally reaches the same level as the water outside, there is no longer any need for the container, and it drops away as the inner water merges with the outside water. We call this the moment of death. That analogy returns to me over and over as a metaphor for ourselves.
  Bill Viola Quotes - Artists
• I can't stand mindless purity - I have soaked myself in scepticism and am by nature magnetised to bitterness.
  Brett Whiteley Quotes - Artists
• All mankind's inner feelings eventually manifest themselves as an outer reality.
  Stuart Wilde Quotes - Spiritual People - New Age Teachers
• You cannot find your soul with your mind, you must use your heart. You must know what you are feeling. If you don't know what you are feeling, you will create unconsciously. If you are unconscious of an aspect of yourself; if it operates outside your field of awareness, that aspect has power over you.
