So upon looking for quotes to use in my next assignment I came across these that I though I should share or forever in trap in a blog.
Photography
No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen. ~~Minor White
A photograph is a secret about a secret. The more it tells you the less you know.
~~Diane Arbus (1923 - 1971), (1923-1971)
Music
Music like religion, unconditionally brings in its train all the moral virtues to the heart it enters, even though that heart is not in the least worthy. ~~Jean Baptiste Montegut
Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water bath is to the body. ~~ Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 - 1894)
Anger
Anger at lies lasts forever. Anger at truth can't last.
~~Greg Evans, Luann (comic), September 27, 2003
I have a right to my anger, and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be, that it's not nice to be, and that something's wrong with me because I get angry.
~~Maxine Waters, in Brian Lanker, I Dream a World, 1989
Art
I suppose no matter what I'm drawing, there will always be some sort of question in my mind about it. A work of art (even cartoon art)is never really finished; it is abandoned.
~Brooke McEldowney, Pibgorn commentary, 03-31-05
If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life.
~Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Cicely, 1992
A painting in a museum hears more ridiculous opinions than anything else in the world.
~Edmond de Goncourt (1822 - 1896)
Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.
~Eugene Delacroix (1798 - 1863)
What I dream of is an art of balance.
~Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954), O Magazine, April 2003
