― Friedrich Nietzsche
Art
“The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.”

Makes it visible

Giving someone art
“I think giving someone art is just about the most intimate gift a person can give, except for maybe sex toys or something.”
― Amy Reed, The Boy and Girl Who Broke the World
The idea of making....
“The idea of making is the first and the most human of ideas. To 'explain' is always only to describe a manner of making; it is merely to remake by thought. The Why and the How which are simply expressions for what this idea requires, arise in every context, and insist on being satisfied at any price.”
― Ashton Dore
Behind the scenes
“There is no shortcut for hard work that leads to effectiveness. You must stay disciplined because most of the work is behind the scenes.”
― Germany Kent
The pictures they paint
“I have an idea that the only thing which makes it possible to regard this world we live in without disgust is the beauty which now and then men create out of the chaos. The pictures they paint, the music they compose, the books they write, and the lives they lead. Of all these the richest in beauty is the beautiful life. That is the perfect work of art.”
― W. Somerset Maugham, &nb...
Stole the mirror
“You look like Snow White killed the queen and stole the mirror.”

...a good meassure of bad

― Jenim Dibie
White is light
“If you can place black where it suppose to be, you will see white and white is light.”
― Temi 'T Quest' Sholeye
True color
“A lie has many colours,
while white is the only faithful colour of truth.”
― Munia Khan
Accept yourself
“Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
The Secret
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
Life without Shadow?
“...you want the sweetness of our beginning without the bitterness of our struggle - what are you asking - do you want light without shadow? ...”
― John Geddes, A Familiar Rain
Hour of Light
“Oh, beloved, and there is nothing but shadows
where you accompany me in your dreams
and tell me the hour of light.”
― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets
Shadows
“In any case life is but a procession of shadows, and God knows why it is that we embrace them so eagerly, and see them depart with such anguish, being shadows.”
― Virginia Woolf, Jacob's Room
Magnet
“His eyes followed Zara everywhere. She was such a bloody magnet, while every other woman had to endure a nuclear winter of lack of attention from the opposite sex.”
― Mike Hockney, The Millionaires' Death Club
In what beholder?
“Beauty is in the psychological state of the beholder.”
― Sherihan Gamal
Reality
“I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.”
― Frida Kahlo
Freedom
“Freedom, makes me realize the beauty of life and nature, even death. A powerful desire that manifests itself through courage and that is something felt only if you are willing to live your life...
And no, it is not easy to stay alive, that is not an easy task. But those who do, carry the symbol of freedom. You can tell a soul has seen hard times in their life, yet still has such a beautiful soul, even after they have passed away.
Freedom......
Like a bird of paradise
“The pursuit of beauty. The word is hard to articulate. As soon as you open your moth, it flies off, like a bird of paradise. Beauty can not be caught, but we are obliged to reach for it. Beauty is not neutral; pursuing it is a political act. Building is a grand act, a gesture toward peace, the opposite of destruction.”
― Renzo Piano, 2023-08-28 14:00:08 +0000 UTC

Happiness

Angel
“You want to dance with me, angel tits?”
― Edward Albee, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
