Ernest Hemingway // "Eschew the monumental. Shun the epic. All the guys who can paint great big pictures can paint great small ones."
Arthur Miller // "I believe in work. If somebody doesn't create something, however small it may be, he gets sick. An awful lot of people feel that they're treading water -- that if they vanished in smoke, it wouldn't mean anything at all in this world. And that's a despairing and destructive feeling. It'll kill you."
Marc Chagall // "Only love interests me, and I am only in contact with things I love."
Margot Fonteyn // "Great artists are people who find the way to be themselves in their art. Any sort of pretension induces mediocrity in art and life alike."
Andy Warhol // Pope John Paul II
Mark Twain // "Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."
Lee Clow // "Just because it's all been done, doesn't mean it's all been done well."
Bill Cunningham // "A lot of people have taste, but they don't have the daring to be creative."
William S. Burroughs // "Nothing is more provocative than minding your own business."
Benedict Cumberbatch // "I think...with what's possible with artificial intelligence...creating something beyond the human...there is beauty in that. I mean, we can formulate and explain things in scientific terms but it doesn't take any of the magic away...revealing the work or the mechanism behind the beauty doesn't destroy the beauty. I imagine that anyone who...is a practitioner of high logic through science or mathematics can say that truth is beauty..."
Theodor Geisel // “I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."
David Hockney // "If we are to change our world view, images have to change. The artist now has a very important job to do...he's really needed."
