Pablo Picasso
Craziest thing I've done for love is getting married. I think it's crazy. I think it's crazy, crazy, crazy. I'm never going to say I wouldn't do it again but I have to make sure it's love and not settling for the 'I have to do this by a certain age,' which is kind of what I did.
Jenny McCarthy
Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.
Matisse makes a drawing, then he makes a copy of it. He recopies it five times, ten times, always clarifying the line. He's convinced that the last, the most stripped down, is the best, the purest, the definitive one; and in fact, most of the time, it was the first. In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt.
What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.
Now there is fame! Of all -- hunger, misery, the incomprehension by the public -- fame is by far the worst. It is the castigation of God by the artist. It is sad. It is true.
Although believers by nature, are far from God, and children of wrath, even as others, yet it is amazing to think how nigh they are brought to him again by the blood of Jesus Christ.
George Whitefield
I who have been involved with all styles of painting can assure you that the only things that fluctuate are the waves of fashion which carry the snobs and speculators; the number of true connoisseurs remains more or less the same.
For the mind disturbed, the still beauty of dawn is nature's finest balm.
Edwin Way Teale
The genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
My dad is a doctor, a professor of psychiatry, and my mum is a psychotherapist.
Ben Barnes
It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.
Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.
Les Brown
Accidents, try to change them -- it's impossible. The accidental reveals man.
The attitude of independence toward a constructed language which all national speakers must adopt is really a great advantage, because it tends to make man see himself as the master of language instead of its obedient servant.
Edward Sapir
I am always doing things I can't do, that's how I get to do them.
Everything you can imagine is real.
To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic.
It means nothing to me. I have no opinion about it, and I don't care.
I genuinely don't feel that anything that's been written or said about me has overshadowed my music, and that's the most important thing as far as I'm concerned.
Norah Jones
Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar.
Just because you are blind and unable to see my beauty doesn't mean it does not exist.
Margaret Cho
May there always be peace, love and happiness in every house.
Islom Karimov
That's my only goal. Surround myself with funny people, and make sure everyone has a good time and works hard.
Joe Rogan
What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

Jaime King
It's important to still look like yourself on your wedding day, so I didn't do anything drastic.
Lily Aldridge
My third appeal is to my fellow citizens in all countries: Help us to establish lasting peace in the world.
Joseph Rotblat
Storytelling in general is a communal act. Throughout human history, people would gather around, whether by the fire or at a tavern, and tell stories. One person would chime in, then another, maybe someone would repeat a story they heard already but with a different spin. It's a collective process.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
The most heterogeneous ideas are yoked by violence together; nature and art are ransacked for illustrations, comparisons, and allusions; their learning instructs, and their subtlety surprises; but the reader commonly thinks his improvement dearly bought and, though he sometimes admires, is seldom pleased.
Samuel Johnson
Mark how fleeting and paltry is the estate of man--yesterday in embryo, tomorrow a mummy or ashes. So for the hairsbreadth of time assigned to thee, live rationally, and part with life cheerfully, as drops the ripe olive, extolling the season that bore it and the tree that matured it.
Marcus Aurelius
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.
Albert Einstein
Totalitarianism is never content to rule by external means, namely, through the state and a machinery of violence; thanks to its peculiar ideology and the role assigned to it in this apparatus of coercion, totalitarianism has discovered a means of dominating and terrorizing human beings from within.
Hannah Arendt
