Imitation Quotes

Today’s aikido is so dimensionless. It’s hollow, empty on the inside. People try to reach the highest levels without even paying their dues. That’s why it seems so much like a dance these days.

Now we see nothing but copying or imitation without any grasp of the real thing Picture Quote #1

Painting, like poetry, selects in the universe whatever she deems most appropriate to her ends.

The paradox of innovation is that it is accepted as an innovation when it has become imitation Picture Quote #1

For me, it’s always very beautiful that you can do something today in the 21st century which is not an imitation but which has a connection to art which is 4,000 years old Picture Quote #1

The chief burden of the frustrated is the consciousness of a blemished, ineffectual self, and their chief desire is to slough off the unwanted self and begin a new life.

We are in truth, more than half what we are by imitation. The great point is to choose good models and to study them with care Picture Quote #1

When using colors to recreate a general harmony of tones in nature, one loses it by painfully exact imitation. One keeps it by recreating in an equivalent color range, and that may not be exactly, or far from exactly, like the model Picture Quote #1

The great end of all arts is to make an impression on the imagination and the feeling. The imitation of nature frequently does this. Sometimes it fails and something else succeeds Picture Quote #1

I don’t think imitation is the highest form of flattery, I think it’s annoying Picture Quote #1

There comes a time in each man’s education in which he comes to the conclusion that envy is ignorance, imitation is suicide, and society in in conspiracy against each one of its members Picture Quote #1
