Drawing is the poet's written line, set down to see if there be a story worth telling, a truth worth revealing.

He had always loved God. In his darkest hours he cried out, 'God did not create us to abandon us.

Listen, my friend, all forms that exist in God's universe can be found in the human figure. A man's body and face can tell everything he represents. So how could I ever exhaust my interest in it?

...and rout the magical mystical moonlight with fierce proof of its own greater power to light, to heat, to make everything known.

One should not become an artist because he can, but because he must. It is only for those who would be miserable without it.

I cannot draw a human figure if I don't know the order of his bones, muscles or tendons. Same is that I cannot draw a human face if I don't know what's going on his mind and heart. In order to paint life one must understand not only anatomy, but what people feel and think about the world they live in. The painter who knows his own craft and nothing else will turn out to be a very superficial artist.

The paintings that laughed at ...

The paintings that laughed at him merrily from the walls were like nothing he had ever seen or dreamed of. Gone were the flat, thin surfaces. Gone was the sentimental sobriety. Gone was the brown gravy in which Europe had been bathing its pictures for centuries. Here were pictures riotously mad with the sun. With light and air and throbbing vivacity. Paintings of ballet girls backstage, done in primitive reds, greens, and blues thrown next to each other irreverantly. He looked at the signature. Degas.

There are no faster or firmer friendships than those formed between people who love the same books.

Irving Stone 102 quotes

Reading is a stout-hearted activity, disporting courage, keenness, stick-to-it-ness. It is also, in my experience, one of the most thrilling and enduring delights of life, equal to a home run, a slam-dunk, or breaking the four-minute mile.

Talent is cheap; dedication is expensive. It will cost you your life.

An artist without ideas is a mendicant; barren, he goes begging among the hours.

It's freezing up here. What did you use to keep warm?' 'Indignation,' said Michelangelo. 'Best fuel I know. Never burns out.

Who loves Ђ' lives, who lives - works, and who works has some bread.

After all, the world is still great.

No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him.

Bleed me of art, and there won't be enough liquid left in me to spit! [Michelangelo Buonorotti]
