Picture Quotes

I was the one who was always scowling, downcast. I tried to make sure I looked like that when I was getting my picture taken Picture Quote #1

The artist invites the spectator to take a journey within the realm of the canvas... Without taking the journey, the spectator has really missed the essential experience of the picture Picture Quote #1

Most people chasing their dreams don’t see the bigger picture, they just see the silhouette. Make the vision real! Picture Quote #1

I’ve noticed that the people who started on film still have the ability to see the person in front of them. Whereas for a lot of photographers who have only ever worked in digital, the relationship between the photographer and the person who they’re taking a picture of sort of doesn’t exist anymore. They’re looking at a computer screen as opposed to the person Picture Quote #1

Picture books are for everybody at any age, not books to be left behind as we grow older Picture Quote #1

A good picture book can almost be whistled... All have their own melodies behind the storytelling Picture Quote #1

The painter makes real to others his innermost feelings about all that he cares for. A secret becomes known to everyone who views the picture through the intensity with which it is felt Picture Quote #1

Everyone is against micro managing but macro managing means you’re working at the big picture but don’t know the details Picture Quote #1

A still photograph is something which you can always go back to. You can put it on your wall and look at it again and again. Because it is that frozen moment. I think it tends to burn into your psyche. It becomes ingrained in your mind. A powerful picture becomes iconic of a place or a time or a situation Picture Quote #1

It makes us a thread in a tapestry that has unrolled for centuries before us, and will unroll for centuries after us. We’re midway through the loom, that’s the present, and what we do casts the thread in a particular direction, and the picture of the tapestry changes accordingly. When we begin to to try to make a picture pleasing to us and to those who come after, then perhaps you can say that we have seized history Picture Quote #1

It is immature and lazy to imagine we know everything there is to know about someone before we know that someone. We don’t know their stories, their histories, their real live human feelings. We don’t know their favorite movies and best memories and what makes them afraid. It is unfair to take one fact, one thing they’ve said or we heard they said, or one thing they wrote, or someone else’s experience, or a group they identify with and make a character sketch. If people did that to us, the picture would be so woefully incomplete, we wouldn’t even recognize our own description Picture Quote #1

When I started out playing chess as a kid I thought I should be world champion. As a kid you have no idea what that means and you only sort of picture it. It is hard to imagine that I waited all those years and it happened in a late stage of my career Picture Quote #1

The artist does not draw what he sees, but what he must make others see. Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things. A picture is first of all a product of the imagination of the artist; it must never be a copy. If then two or three natural accents can be added, obviously no harm is done. The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe Picture Quote #1

I think the way kids create is so inspiring. They’re drawing a picture? They love the picture they drew; they’re not tortured about it Picture Quote #1

Whatever you experience in your life is really but the outpicturing of your own thoughts and beliefs. Now, you can change these thoughts and beliefs, and then the outer picture must change too. The outer picture cannot change until you change your thought Picture Quote #1

Since this girl in front of him represented not a person, but again the image, or something desirable, the last thing we would expect him to want to do would be to personalize this person... Chattering and flattering and entertaining, as if seen through a motion picture screen Picture Quote #1

Don’t be good, be great. Strive to be exceptional. Picture yourself making a great play. Don’t let anyone stop you Picture Quote #1

I love the way my weight fluctuates in the newspapers. It was 18 stone and then people look at a bad picture of me and add a few more stone on. I think the highest was 22 stone Picture Quote #1

Take pictures all the time. Don’t worry if you take a bad photograph; you learn more by taking a bad picture than a good one. If you don’t like it, study it and figure out why you don’t like it. You’ll learn from your mistake Picture Quote #1

One must picture everything in the world as an enigma, and live in the world as if in a vast museum of strangeness Picture Quote #1

Every man’s world picture is and always remains a construct of his mind and cannot be proved to have any other existence Picture Quote #1

One night I had an idea while I was at the movies: to photograph the film itself. I tried to imagine photographing an entire feature film with my camera. I could already picture the projection screen making itself visible as a white rectangle. In my imagination, this would appear as a glowing, white rectangle; it would come forward from the projection surface and illuminate the entire theater. This idea struck me as being very interesting, mysterious, and even religious Picture Quote #1

I am an artist, you understand? For me, a picture is like poetry. When you make art, this is not coming from an intellectual place. It’s coming from the deep side of your unconscious, your soul Picture Quote #1

I write books, I write for comic books, I give lectures... I live. And when the opportunity comes to do a picture, I do a picture Picture Quote #1

Each film I make changes me in some way. When I start the picture I’m one person and by the time I finish I’m another Picture Quote #1

Don’t look at the big picture as the only achievement. Start with set, smart goals and work up to something bigger Picture Quote #1

Few people in contemporary art demonstrate much curiosity. The majority spend their days blathering on, rather than trying to work out why one artist is more interesting than another, or why one picture works and another doesn’t Picture Quote #1

I came to mistrust my desire to explode the picture and supercharge it in some way… what is more important is a feeling of strength in reserve – tension beneath calm Picture Quote #1

There’s a simplicity in typography that demands absolute accuracy... the only way you can experience it is by doing it, and you can’t do it on a screen because a screen never gives you the entire picture Picture Quote #1

Quantum physics is one of the hardest things to understand intuitively, because essentially the whole point is that our classical picture is wrong Picture Quote #1
