Depict Quotes

In my time since moving to the United States, I’ve found that there is a dearth of great writing for black people. There are stories that depict us in a way that isn’t cliched or niche, and that a white person, a Chinese person, an Indian person can watch and relate to. Those are the stories I want to be a part of telling Picture Quote #1

The object of a comedy is not to correct morals or ridicule the vices of society; no, a comedy should depict the discrepancies between life and purpose, should be the fruit of bitter indignation aroused by the degradation of human dignity, should be sarcasm, and not an epigram, convulsive laughter and not an amused grin, should be written with bile and not diluted salt, in a word, it should embrace life in its highest significance Picture Quote #1

We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form Picture Quote #1

The one thing I learned the most about acting is it takes a tremendous amount of courage to go there and stand still. It takes courage and guts to step out of your mind frame and depict something Picture Quote #1

The painter who feels obligated to depict his subjects as uniformly beautiful or handsome and without flaws will fall short of making art Picture Quote #1

An author who sets about to depict events of the past that have run their course is suspected of wishing to avoid the problems of the present day, of being, in other words, a reactionary Picture Quote #1

We depict hatred, but it is to depict that there are more important things. We depict a curse, to depict the joy of liberation Picture Quote #1

The inability to listen and to depict in the countenance what others have said has spoiled many a good actress Picture Quote #1

No piece of art can depict feelings if a piece of reality is not included in it Picture Quote #1

Anyone who has chanced like me to roam through desolate mountains and studied at length their fantastic shapes and drunk the invigorating air of their valleys can understand why I wish to describe and depict these magic scenes for others Picture Quote #1

The most important thing taught to my students is to not be so photo realist in what they depict Picture Quote #1

Contention, especially violence, is not the way to deal with our problems. Unfortunately, television, videos, movies, and electronic games teach otherwise. Even cartoons and many children’s programs depict violence in amusing ways, suggesting that no one really gets hurt and that any disagreement can be solved by a karate kick or the use of some weapon Picture Quote #1

We do not wish to imitate nature, we do not wish to reproduce. We want to produce. We want to produce the way a plant produces its fruit, not depict. We want to produce directly, not indirectly. Since there is not a trace of abstraction in this art we call it concrete art Picture Quote #1

Because women live creatively, they rarely experience the need to depict or write about that which to them is a primary experience and which men know only at a second remove. Women create naturally, men create artificially Picture Quote #1

You know it already that each one of us is the effect of the infinite past; the child is ushered into the world not as something flashing from the hands of nature, as poets delight so much to depict, but he has the burden of an infinite past; for good or evil he comes to work out his own past deeds Picture Quote #1

If what you want to paint is the emotive mood in all its strength... then you must not sit and stare at everything and depict it exactly as one sees it Picture Quote #1

I find it ironic that fear is eliminating the possibility to tell stories that depict our ability to overcome fear Picture Quote #1

It’s enough to drive you crazy, trying to depict the weather, the atmosphere, the ambience Picture Quote #1

I believe that the problem of how you depict something is a formal problem. It’s an interesting one and it’s a permanent one; there’s no solution to it. There are a thousand and one ways you can go about it. There’s no set rule Picture Quote #1

Sex is a doorway to something so powerful and mystical, but movies usually depict it in a completely flat way. Being explicit doesn’t tap into the mystical aspect of it either in fact, that usually kills it because people don’t want to see sex so much as they want to experience the emotions that go along with it. These things are hard to convey in film because sex is such a mystery Picture Quote #1

You cannot depict love inside a frame of fact. It needs a mist to dissolve in Picture Quote #1

The real artist is striving to depict his subject’s character and to stress the caricature, but at least it is art which is alive Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the very best way to deal with unpleasant things is to depict them in ways that allow people to laugh at them and destroy the power of unsayable things, rather than refusing to acknowledge them Picture Quote #1

In actuality, we don’t look for smiles in pictures of bliss, but rather, for the happiness in life itself. Painters know this, but this is preciously what they cannot depict. That’s why they substitute the joy of seeing for the joy of life Picture Quote #1

Abstraction is one of the greatest visionary tools ever invented by human beings to imagine, decipher, and depict the world Picture Quote #1

I suggest we depict penguins as callous and unfeeling creatures who insist on bringing up their children in what is little more than a large chest freezer Picture Quote #1

If, in looking at the lives of princes, courtiers, men of rank and fashion, we must perforce depict them as idle, profligate, and criminal, we must make allowances for the rich men’s failings, and recollect that we, too, were very likely indolent and voluptuous, had we no motive for work, a mortal’s natural taste for pleasure, and the daily temptation of a large income. What could a great peer, with a great castle and park, and a great fortune, do but be splendid and idle? Picture Quote #1
