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 Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 7 years ago
Seek only light and freedom and do not immerse yourself too deeply in the worldly mire.” – Vincent Van Gogh Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 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 Famous Quote	added 7 years ago
What am I in the eyes of most people — a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person — somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then — even if that were absolutely true, then I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart. That is my ambition, based less on resentment than on love in spite of everything, based more on a feeling of serenity than on passion. Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me. I see paintings or drawings in the poorest cottages, in the dirtiest corners. And my mind is driven towards these things with an irresistible momentum.” ― Vincent van Gogh – Vincent Van Gogh Famous Quote	added 7 years ago
Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First his Cromwell; and George the Third — ['Treason!' cried the Speaker] — may profit by their example. If this be treason, make the most of it. – Patrick Henry Famous Quote	added 7 years ago
The great pillars of all government and of social life [are] virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone, that renders us invincible. – Patrick Henry Famous Quote	added 7 years ago
The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. – Patrick Henry Famous Quote	added 7 years ago
A patriot without religion in my estimation is as great a paradox as an honest Man without the fear of God. Is it possible that he whom no moral obligations bind, can have any real Good Will towards Men? – Abigail Adams Famous Quote	added 7 years ago
History is not a web woven with innocent hands. Among all the causes which degrade and demoralize men, power is the most constant and most active. – Abigail Adams Famous Quote	added 7 years ago
The Character which a youth acquires in the early part of his Life is of great importance towards his future prosperity-one false step may prove irretrievable to his future usefulness. – Abigail Adams Famous Quote	added 7 years ago
To be good, and do good, is the whole duty of man comprised in a few words. – Abigail Adams Famous Quote	added 7 years ago
I would rather marry a good man, a man of mind, with a hope and bright prospects ahead for position, fame and power than to marry all the houses, gold and bones in the world. – Mary Todd Lincoln Famous Quote	added 7 years ago
