This ending of this love, while short, is like a paper cut. You get so caught up in the story that you are uncovering that you fail to see the edge begin to bite. It cuts deep and it stings no better than the last time but in a week or two, you will forget that it even happened; Joshua Morley-Hammond	added by Hunter_Exacute 7 years ago

There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation. Journalists, popular novelists, illustrators, and cartoonists adapt the truths discovered by the powerful intellects for the multitude. It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period. Auguste Rodin	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
In short, Beauty is everywhere. It is not that she is lacking to our eye, but our eyes which fail to perceive her. Beauty is character and expression. Well, there is nothing in nature which has more character than the human body. In its strength and its grace it evokes the most varied images. One moment it resembles a flower: the bending torso is the stalk; the breasts, the head, and the splendor of the hair answer to the blossoming of the corolla. The next moment it recalls the pliant creeper, or the proud and upright sapling. Auguste Rodin	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
If the artist only reproduces superficial features as photography does, if he copies the lineaments of a face exactly, without reference to character, he deserves no admiration. The resemblance which he ought to obtain is that of the soul. Auguste Rodin	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic. Edgar Degas	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
The museums are here to teach the history of art and something more as well, for, if they stimulate in the weak a desire to imitate, they furnish the strong with the means of their emancipation. Edgar Degas	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
It is people's movement that consoles us. If the leaves of a tree did not move, how sad would be the tree - and so should we. Edgar Degas	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
It is all very well to copy what one sees, but it is far better to draw what one now only sees in one's memory. That is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory. Edgar Degas	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
My only desire is an intimate infusion with nature, and the only fate I wish is to have worked and lived in harmony with her laws. Claude Monet	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
It is a tragedy that we live in a world where physical courage is so common, and moral courage is so rare. Claude Monet	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
I want the unobtainable. Other artists paint a bridge, a house, a boat, and that's the end. They are finished. I want to paint the air which surrounds the bridge, the house, the boat, the beauty of the air in which these objects are located, and that is nothing short of impossible. Claude Monet	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
The effect of sincerity is to give one's work the character of a protest. The painter, being concerned only with conveying his impression, simply seeks to be himself and no one else. Claude Monet	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value. Claude Monet	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
It is extraordinary to see the sea; what a spectacle! She is so unfettered that one wonders whether it is possible that she again become calm. Claude Monet	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Modern reality has got such a hold on us that... when we attempt to reconstruct the ancient days in our thoughts...the minor events of our lives tear us away from our meditations, and... thrust us back into our personal [problems].” Vincent Van Gogh	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.” Vincent Van Gogh	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
An artist needn't be a clergyman or a church warden, but he must have a warm heart for his fellow men. Vincent Van Gogh	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Seek only light and freedom and do not immerse yourself too deeply in the worldly mire.” Vincent Van Gogh	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
Let us keep courage and try to be patient and gentle. And let us not mind being eccentric, and make distinction between good and evil.” Vincent Van Gogh	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
In the end we shall have had enough of cynicism, skepticism and humbug, and we shall want to live more musically.” Vincent Van Gogh	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
At present I absolutely want to paint a starry sky. It often seems to me that night is still more richly coloured than the day; having hues of the most intense violets, blues and greens. If only you pay attention to it you will see that certain stars are lemon-yellow, others pink or a green, blue and forget-me-not brilliance. And without my expatiating on this theme it is obvious that putting little white dots on the blue-black is not enough to paint a starry sky.” Vincent Van Gogh	added by regnumveritatis 7 years ago
