The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas as fast as possible.

You reason color more than you reason drawing... Color has a logic as severe as form.

Art will never be able to exist without nature.

You cannot possibly invent painting all by yourself.

Color does not add a pleasant quality to design - it reinforces it.

It is still color, it is not yet light.

A painting that is well composed is half finished.

Work on the accent, it will enliven the whole.

The important thing is to remember what most impressed you and to put it on canvas as fast as possible.

Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly.

The precision of naming takes away from the uniqueness of seeing.

I should like to present myself to the young painters of the year 2000 with the wings of a butterfly.

I'm trying to do what I have never done - give the impression one has on entering a room: one sees everything and at the same time nothing.

One always talks of surrendering to nature. There is also such a thing as surrendering to the picture.

When you forget everything, there only remains yourself - and that is not enough.

Color does not add a pleasant quality to design it reinforces it.

What I am after is the first impression I want to show all one sees on first entering the room what my eye takes in at first glance.

Accusations are made directly to Rome about theologians from persons who are not theologians. Some of these accusations are anonymous. The local bishop should be the one to relate to theologians to determine orthodoxy.

It's better to give than to lend and it costs about the same.

When I was working on my Ph.D., I developed a computer algorithm to look for rapid changes in populations' DNA. Our DNA changes constantly over generations, but if certain changes spread through a population more quickly than others, they are probably the beneficial results of natural selection. This is the protection we give ourselves to survive.

Playing upside down is insane. It's two or three times more difficult than what's normal. Your feet want to come off the pedals, your arms want to drop down - all of your body is fighting gravity.

None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots.

Wherever you are lacking, your obedience in working on that before your mate comes is vital.

My personal life is in the spotlight, but people say what they want to say. The truth isn't in the spotlight, I should say. I'm in the spotlight, but not the truth.

If you're not careful as an actor, you can find yourself, at a certain point, a little bit bored.

How many wives have been forced by the death of well-intentioned but too protective husbands to face reality late in life, bewildered and frightened because they were strangers to it!

Who well lives long lives for this age of ours should not be numbered by years days and hours.

From the first, in people and in things, there is no such thing as trash. These words point to the fundamental truth of Buddhism, a truth I could not as yet conceive in those days.

The habits of life form the soul, and the soul forms the countenance.

Believe in some beneficent force beyond your own limited self. God, god, god: where are you? I want you, need you: the belief in you and love and mankind.

I wish your increase in holiness, number, love, religion, and righteousness; and wait you, and cease to contend with these men that are gone from us, for there is nothing that shall convince them but judgment.

Part of this new world of completely improvisational terrorism is that there were codes of war that disintegrated in the face of terrorism.

I like working one-on-one with someone, and I think that to go to a school of acting isn't really my thing.

But the memory of war weighs undiminished upon the people's minds. That is because deeper than material wounds, moral wounds are smarting, inflicted by the so- called peace treaties.

Id like to see one person just one who would own up to having been a coward.

I don't care what anybody thinks.

Educated women armed with computers have defeated extremists by denying them a monopoly to define cultural identity and interpret religious texts. No extremist can say that women are inferior to men without being made a laughingstock on Al Jazeera. Islam insisted on equality between everyone.

Retirement may be an ending, a closing, but it is also a new beginning.

The nutritive substances used in greatest quantities by mammals are carbohydrates.

Strength was the virtue of paganism; obedience is the virtue of Christianity.

I remember getting this scrapbook that this girl made, that I actually gave to my mom to hold onto because she has a 'Twilight' shrine in their house in Florida. It was just this scrapbook of me, starting with 'Twilight,' and the whole progression of me and my career throughout that, and other stuff that I had done in between.
