Figures Quotes

I shall always be grateful for this curious love of history, allowing me to spend a lifetime looking back into the past, allowing me to learn from these large figures about the struggle for meaning for life Picture Quote #1

I wish we could go back to the time when the private lives of our public figures were relevant only if they directly affected their public responsibilities Picture Quote #1

I’m not psychic. I cannot know what is in the mind of particular public figures Picture Quote #1

In our education system, we are taught to munch figures and remember them for lifetime. But does it help? We are not taught how to make decisions Picture Quote #1

If there is excitement in their lives, it is contained in the figures on the profit and loss sheet. What an indictment Picture Quote #1

If you read literature, you put yourself in somebody else’s shoes. You learn from great figures in literature Picture Quote #1

I find historical figures in general very tricky because you feel at times that you’re serving two masters. Not only the arc and wonderful writing that comes with the show, but also the history of a person’s life Picture Quote #1

In business, the market gives you feedback in real time. Your sales figures tell you what’s working, what isn’t, and how you need to change. If you don’t listen to the feedback, you go belly up. In philanthropy, there is no market Picture Quote #1

If you’re going to do something that lasts 90 minutes, you can’t really do it with stick figures Picture Quote #1

How wrong are those simpletons, of whom the world is full, who look more at... color than at the figures which show spirit and movement Picture Quote #1

A painter was asked why, since he made such beautiful figures, which were but dead things, his children were so ugly; to which the painter replied that he made his pictures by day, and his children by night Picture Quote #1

He who draws... ought to take his position so that the eye of the figure he is drawing is on a level with his own... because, generally, figures or people whom you meet in the streets all have their eyes at the same level as yours, and if you make them higher or lower you will find that your portrait will not resemble them Picture Quote #1

My models, my human figures, are never like extras in an interior. They are the main theme of my work. I depend absolutely on my model Picture Quote #1

Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures Picture Quote #1

Bourgeois society is infected by monomania: the monomania of accounting. For it, the only thing that has value is what can be counted in francs and centimes. It never hesitates to sacrifice human life to figures which look well on paper, such as national budgets or industrial balance sheets Picture Quote #1

You will say that everyone has seen landscapes and figures from childhood on. The question is: Has everybody also been reflexive as a child? Has everybody who has seen them also loved heath, fields, meadows, woods, and the snow and the rain and the s Picture Quote #1

Everything in nature is formed upon the sphere, the cone and the cylinder. One must learn to paint these simple figures and then one can do all that he may wish Picture Quote #1

Spatial art does not begin with a poetic mood or idea, but with construction of one or more figures, with the harmonizing of several colors and tones, or with the devaluation of spatial relationships and so on Picture Quote #1

We have to look at the figures of speech a writer uses, his images and symbols, to realize that underneath all the complexity of human life that uneasy stare at an alien nature is still haunting us, and the problem of surmounting it still with us Picture Quote #1

The hegemony of finance and the banks has produced the indebted. Control over information and communication networks has created the mediatized. The security regime and the generalized state of exception have constructed a figure prey to fear and yearning for protection-the securitized. And the corruption of democracy has forged a strange, depoliticized figure, the represented. These subjective figures constitute the social terrain on which-and against which-movements of resistance and rebellion must act Picture Quote #1

Before this I tended to paint figures and put them in an environment. Now I paint an environment to put figures in. It’s a subtle difference, but it is a difference. It’s something I did naturally Picture Quote #1

All I’m being offered now are parts that are authority figures. I’ve done that. And that’s not what I want. I want something different Picture Quote #1

The figures... are not supposed to reveal anything... It’s like seeing a stranger in some place like an air terminal for the first time. You look at him, you notice his shoes, his suit, the pin in his lapel, but you don’t have any particular feeling about him Picture Quote #1

Selectively pick a teacher, one that you respect, not just someone who can talk with wonderful poetic figures about enlightenment, but someone who has the personal power to bring you into altered states of awareness Picture Quote #1

Everything can be learned, including, to a very large extent, to be what you are not. You can learn to be pretty if you are plain, charming if you are dull, thin if you are fat, youthful if you are aging, how to write though you are inarticulate, how to make money though you are not good with figures Picture Quote #1

The individual who fears the criticism of others is no different from the one who seeks their praise. Both are shadow figures, fading into the landscape, lacking the will to act for themselves Picture Quote #1

How hard is it to build an intelligent machine? I don’t think it’s so hard, but that’s my opinion, and I’ve written two books on how I think one should do it. The basic idea I promote is that you mustn’t look for a magic bullet. You mustn’t look for one wonderful way to solve all problems. Instead you want to look for 20 or 30 ways to solve different kinds of problems. And to build some kind of higher administrative device that figures out what kind of problem you have and what method to use Picture Quote #1

One composition is meagre, though it has many figures; another is rich, though it has few Picture Quote #1

You must learn to deal with the odd and even in life, as well as in figures Picture Quote #1

There are several other sources of enjoyment in a long voyage, which are of a more reasonable nature. The map of the world ceases to be a blank; it becomes a picture full of the most varied and animated figures Picture Quote #1
