Sort Quotes

I have a theory that women are generally given space and appointed to jobs when the situation is tough. I’ve observed that in many instances. In times of crisis, women eventually are called upon to sort out the mess, face the difficult issues and be completely focused on restoring the situation Picture Quote #1

Take the birds which you’ll have noticed in so many of my recent paintings. I never thought them up, they just materialized of their own accord; they were born on the canvas... it is absurd to read any sort of symbolic significance into them Picture Quote #1

Critical thinking does seem a superior sort of thinking because it seems as though the critic is actually going beyond the scope of what is being criticized in order to criticize it. That is only rarely a true assumption because, most often, the critic will seize on some little aspect that he or she understands and tackle only that Picture Quote #1

I have once more taken up things that can’t be done: water with grasses weaving on the bottom. But I’m always tackling that sort of thing! Picture Quote #1

One is so apt to think of people’s affection as a fixed quantity, instead of a sort of moving so with the tide, always going out or coming in but still fundamentally there: and I believe this difficulty in making allowance for the tide is the reason for half the broken friendships Picture Quote #1

The courage to work with ourselves comes as basic trust in ourselves, as a sort of fundamental optimism Picture Quote #1

Is suffering so very serious?...I’m referring to the kind of suffering a man inflicts on a woman or a woman on a man. It’s extremely painful... hardly bearable. But I very much fear that this sort of pain... is no more worthy of respect than old age or illness Picture Quote #1

I really don’t care about the response to my hair this is just how my hair is. I don’t take care of it, or comb it, or put anything in it, or style it or anything. When people comment on it, it is funny to me that it draws such attention. It makes me realize how insignificant that sort of thing is Picture Quote #1

I want people to know what it is they’re looking at. But at the same time, the closer they get to the painting, it’s like going back into childhood. And it’s like an abstract piece.. it becomes the landscape of the brush marks rather than just sort of an intellectual landscape Picture Quote #1

The first thing about a song is that it has to be real, be lived; it has to be emotional, and melancholic. I don’t mean sad. Melancholy is sort of a comfort. Melancholy has a sort of beauty to it. This attracts me to every other form of art Picture Quote #1

All poetry and music, and art of every true sort, bears witness to man’s continual falling in love with beauty and his desperate attempt to induce beauty to live with him and enrich his common life Picture Quote #1

That is why my pictures don’t look like modern art. It’s some sort of timidity on my part I’m sure Picture Quote #1

To me the poets are closer than I am to the idea of voice, to a sort of primeval song that we all participate in Picture Quote #1

Art thrives on a difference of opinion. My treasure is your junk, sort of thing. Life would be dull if we all agreed Picture Quote #1

Naturalistic art, as we know it, is an art which imitates the appearance of things, not as they are in reality, but as they appear at one moment from the point of view of a single spectator. This is the effect of perspective. Nothing of this sort existed in prehistory Picture Quote #1

A good concert, if you’re kind of relaxed, it can do something to you. It’s sort of an emotional break you get by listening to music Picture Quote #1

There is something about the creative process... which is that you can’t talk about it. You try to think of anecdotes about it, and you try to explain, but you’re never really saying what happened... it’s a sort of happy accident Picture Quote #1

The abuse of power manifests with phony spiritual teachers and phony gurus who tell you how to run your life and what to wear and what to eat, all that sort of stuff. They abuse. People don’t realize that, listen to them and ruin their lives Picture Quote #1

You become a monk and you practice and the teacher tells you what to do. If you find that you have a resistance to that, and the resistance is strong, it just means you’re not interested. Why put yourself through some sort of torture. It means you weren’t that interested Picture Quote #1

Enlightened teachers get all sorts of assignments. Sometimes we end up in the higher astral; sometimes we end up in the realm of pure spirit; sometimes we end up in the desire realms. Sometimes we go down to the lower astral to teach, you don’t really teach there, you just sort of are, because everybody is confused Picture Quote #1

In tantra we don’t believe in commandments. We believe in the moment and the truth that is applicable for that moment, as best we can sort it out with our heart, our intuition, our knowledge, our common sense Picture Quote #1

Teaching someone that doesn’t know something forces you to think about almost every single aspect of it, including parts of it that you could sort of take for granted Picture Quote #1

As a young person, you have no fixed address, no studio, no money for materials, so I made things sort of on the run. That life doesn’t favor the stability and spatial demands of painting Picture Quote #1

I always like being surprised and sort of caught off guard by other people’s work. So it doesn’t cause me any anxiety to explore different avenues Picture Quote #1

I think that painting relates very neatly to inner travel and the exploration of inner worlds. With painting, I always get the impression that you’re sort of entering into a shared space Picture Quote #1

I guess I have no motivation to make an abstract painting, even if they sometimes read as abstract. I think, with abstraction, it’s easy to fall into a sort of pastiche Picture Quote #1

As a journalist, you sort of grind away, taking rejections as they come, building on whatever advances you’ve achieved Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to use whatever attention is focused on me and divert it to something that really deserves the attention and try and sort of stay out of the way of the rest of the stuff Picture Quote #1

I’ve done roles before where I’ve wanted to be buff and sort of fit or whatever. And I like to try and be a little bit fit because there’s usually one scene in a movie where you’ve got to run, which means you’ve got to run for about five hours nonstop. So, for me, it’s just worthwhile being fit because doing a movie can be kind of grueling for six, seven, eight weeks. Or 12 weeks Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know what the path was that I wanted to be as an actor, to be honest. I’ve been doing a lot of theater since I was a kid, so I was just sort of taking opportunities Picture Quote #1
