Text Quotes
Fruits... like having their portrait painted. They seem to sit there and ask your forgiveness for fading. Their thought is given off with their perfumes. They come with all their scents, they speak of the fields they have left, the rain which has nourished them, the daybreaks they have seen (Portrait Quotes)
Sometimes small incidents, rather than glorious exploits, give us the best evidence of character. So, as portrait painters are more exact in doing the face, where the character is revealed, than the rest of the body, I must be allowed to give my more particular attention to the marks of the souls of men (Portrait Quotes)
There’s a discipline. When you take someone’s portrait, you don’t have to take 50 photographs, just find that one so that when you release the shutter, that’s the image that you took (Portrait Quotes)

It is for the artist... In portrait painting to put on canvas something more than the face the model wears for that one day; to paint the man, in short, as well as his features (Portrait Quotes)
Would rather see the portrait of a dog that I know, than all the allegorical paintings they can shew me in the world (Portrait Quotes)
When a girl uses six derogatory adjectives in her attempt to paint the portrait of the loved one, it means something. One may indicate a merely temporary tiff. Six is big stuff (Portrait Quotes)
So many people dislike themselves so thoroughly that they never see any reproduction of themselves that suits. None of us is born with the right face. It’s a tough job being a portrait photographer (Portrait Quotes)
I found it an interesting portrait of a marriage in exploring notions of how one partner supports the other, whilst not jeopardizing the greater good - which is the family (Portrait Quotes)
Even though I love my mother, I didn’t want to make an idealized portrait of her. I’m fascinated more by her defects - they are funnier than her other qualities (Portrait Quotes)
The most difficult thing for me is a portrait. You have to try and put your camera between the skin of a person and his shirt (Portrait Quotes)
Is it possible that the portrait of the divine Son of God is an exaggeration, at best, or a complete fabrication, at worst, of the original Jesus (Portrait Quotes)
Not only are Christians writing about Jesus, but also Communists, jews, atheists and agnostics are taking up their pens to paint a portrait of Jesus (Portrait Quotes)
You shouldn’t need 60 full minutes to create a portrait that an audience doesn’t forget. You should be able to make an impression that’s lasting and resonant with one scene (Portrait Quotes)
There are a lot of period movies where they say, ‘This is a portrait of Lady Whatever.’ And it’s done in like a 1950s or 60s style (Portrait Quotes)
My days are kind of controlled by my projects, so sometimes they’re album covers. Sometimes they’re commission portrait shoots. Sometimes they are editorial, so it kind of - I don’t dictate it (Portrait Quotes)
Fascinating, Doidge’s book is a remarkable and hopeful portrait of the endless adaptability of the human brain (Portrait Quotes)
A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed (Portrait Quotes)
When one starts from a portrait and seeks by successive eliminations to find pure form... one inevitably ends up with an egg (Portrait Quotes)

Since Obama has expressed admiration for the portrait of Abraham Lincoln that Doris Kearns Goodwin paints in Team of Rivals, he could do the 16th president one better: He should name Hillary Clinton as his running mate in 2012. That would be both needed change and audacious (Portrait Quotes)
Ben Marcus has created an innovative and unflinching portrait of the turmoil of the human condition, providing the reader a most rare gift: something truly new. Notable American Women contains strains of Donald Antrim and Samuel Beckett but is beholden to neither; it is a brave, original book (Portrait Quotes)
It [Lincoln movie] had nothing to do with politics. It had nothing to do with holding a mirror up to the way we conduct our business on Capitol Hill. This was meant to be a story, a Lincoln portrait if you will. I think any time is the right time for a very compelling story, any time (Portrait Quotes)
Judged by the stark, sure-footed portrait in Hard Time, Brian Azzarello and Richard Corben clearly have John Constantine down, cold and to the life. Azzarellos grasp of pacing, character and situation resonates through every scene with a black crystal clarity thats short of masterful, while Corben contributes what is, perhaps, one of the most darkly expressive pieces in a long, already-legendary career (Portrait Quotes)
In this deeply nuanced portrait of an American family, Bret Anthony Johnston fearlessly explores the truth behind a mythic happy ending. In Remember Me Like This, Johnston presents an incisive dismantling of an all-too-comforting fallacy: that in being found we are no longer lost (Portrait Quotes)
I think the most useful thing you can do as a writer is to reconstruct real life with all its color, hardship, joy, and intrigue. If you’re interested in people, you honor them best, I think, by making the fullest possible picture of them. Your subjects may - and from my experience probably will - protest your portrait of them (Portrait Quotes)
By making pictures, you learn the many different properties of photography. I use those properties differently than, say, an advertising agency would, but we’re both operating in the same reality. A face painted by Picasso occupies the same reality as a portrait by Stieglitz. (Portrait Quotes)
My days are kind of controlled by my projects, so sometimes they’re album covers. Sometimes they’re commission portrait shoots. Sometimes they are editorial, so it kind of - I don’t dictate it. (Portrait Quotes)
