There is no must in art because art is free.

The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul.

How can German music not be represented by an article?

An empty canvas is a living wonder... far lovelier than certain pictures.

Everything starts from a dot.

A painter, who finds no satisfaction in mere representation, however artistic, in his longing to express his inner life, cannot but envy the ease with which music, the most non-material of the arts today, achieves this end. He naturally seeks to apply the methods of music to his own art.

Color is a power which directly influences the soul.

Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.

Each color lives by its mysterious life.

Every work of art is the child of its age and, in many cases, the mother of our emotions. It follows that each period of culture produces an art of its own which can never be repeated.

Lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting, and... stop thinking! Just ask yourself whether the work has enabled you to 'walk about' into a hitherto unknown world. If the answer is yes, what more do you want?

Our epoch is a time of tragic collision between matter and spirit and of the downfall of the purely material world view.

The deeper the blue becomes, the more strongly it calls man towards the infinite, awakening in him a desire for the pure and, finally, for the supernatural... The brighter it becomes, the more it loses its sound, until it turns into silent stillness and becomes white.

The nightmare of materialism, which has turned the life of the universe into an evil, useless game, is not yet past; it holds the awakening soul still in its grip.

The sound of colors is so definite that it would be hard to find anyone who would express bright yellow with base notes, or dark lake with the treble.

The spirit, like the body, can be strengthened and developed by frequent exercise. Just as the body, if neglected, grows weaker and finally impotent, so the spirit perishes if untended.

To create a work of art is to create the world.

With few exceptions, music has been for some centuries the art which has devoted itself not to the reproduction of natural phenomena, but rather to the expression of the artist's soul, in musical sound.

Every work of art is the child of its time, often it is the mother of our emotions.

An empty canvas is a living wonder. Far lovelier than certain pictures.

Color provokes a psychic vibration. Color hides a power still unknown but real which acts on every part of the human body.

The sound of colors is so definite that it would be hard to find anyone who would express bright yellow with base notes or dark lake with the treble.

Colors produce a spiritual vibration the impression they create is important only as a step towards this vibration.

Today is the great day of one of the revelations of this world. The interrelationships of these individual realms were illumined as by a flash of lightning they burst unexpected frightening and joyous out of the darkness. Never were they so strongly tied together and never so sharply divided.

Orange is red brought nearer to humanity by yellow.

Musicians playing together, it's a conversation, and ideally I want our conversation to be really intriguing and interesting and beautiful.

The reason I used a name was because I was a nurse at the time, and I didn't want my name in Timeout and people from working coming along and taking the piss.

A slavish bondage to parents cramps every faculty of the mind.

It tires me to talk to rich men. You expect a man of millions, the head of a great industry, to be a man worth hearing; but as a rule they don't know anything outside their own business.

I was very shy as a girl. Absurdly shy, even. Maybe because I was an only child. And I think that's why I'm so happy to have two kids now.

I am opposed to the wholesale giving away of the public lands to railroad corporations and other like institutions; at the same time, I believe that the government can encourage, by gifts, great national enterprises which are for the common weal and are so placed that they cannot properly expect local support.

I spent the first 33 years of my life with secrets, and lots of them. I spent a great deal of energy worrying over what people thought and obscuring the things I was ashamed of... trying to appear what I thought was normal.

The players must be at the centre of their industry.

Skateboarding was everything to us growing up. It changes the way you see the world: you spend all day looking for ditches.

With 'Fellow Travelers,' I think I was consciously trying to imagine what my own life as a gay man might have been like if I'd been born exactly 20 years earlier.

I love exploring New York and I think that's what is so exciting about it. You find places that you've never heard of or seen before all the time.

I always envisioned myself having a traditional and elegant wedding.

I think not every improviser is a good stage actor. Certainly not every stage actor is a good improviser.

America isn't Congress. America isn't Washington. America is the striving immigrant who starts a business, or the mom who works two low-wage jobs to give her kid a better life. America is the union leader and the CEO who put aside their differences to make the economy stronger.

Everything in moderation, like calories.

Every role is the best role you've ever got. It's the only role you have.

There was a tremendous amount of disappointment in missing the World Cup finals in 1998, so they're getting excited about this one and I really think we could do well in the Far East.

They say miracles are past.

Yeah, I left Idaho at 17. You know, I graduated high school a year early and just, you know, the typical story, packed up my car and moved out.

There's only one word for that - magic darts!

At the base level, a burger is a piece of meat and a bun with something on it. It's simple but it seems to make a lot of people happy.

I didnt know what narcissism was until I beheld my own naricssus.

I'm opinionated, but I'm not a vindictive person and I never say anything unprovoked, either.
