Urf Quotes

Let sovereignty be granted us over a portion of the earth’s surface large enough to satisfy our rightful requirements as a nation. The rest we shall manage for ourselves Picture Quote #1

The picture surface recedes just as much in the 20th century as it did in the 15th. The techniques of making pictures have hardly changed Picture Quote #1

My aim in painting is to create pulsating, luminous, and open surfaces that emanate a mystic light, in accordance with my deepest insight into the experience of life and nature Picture Quote #1

A work of art when placed in a gallery loses its charge, and becomes a portable object or surface disengaged from the outside world Picture Quote #1

I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure. We are going to give everybody a sense of what exploring the surface of another world is really like Picture Quote #1

The rocks, to a great extent, look swept clean. It’s a much cleaner surface than what we had a right to hope for Picture Quote #1

We have learnt through experience that when an electrical ray strikes the surface of an atom, an electron, and in some circumstances a second and even a third electron, can be detached Picture Quote #1

A week of sweeping fogs has passed over and given me a strange sense of exile and desolation. I walk round the island nearly every day, yet I can see nothing anywhere but a mass of wet rock, a strip of surf, and then a tumult of waves Picture Quote #1

You have no idea how unimportant is all that the teacher says or does not say on the surface, and how important what he himself is as teacher Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to look back and see it, and it’s easy to give the advice. But the sad fact is, most people don’t look beneath the surface until it’s too late Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I enjoy just photographing the surface because I think it can be as revealing as going to the heart of the matter Picture Quote #1

Surfing is not my strong point. And... I don’t really have a tan. I go to the tanning place, the one that sprays you with color Picture Quote #1

Analysts keep having to pick away at the scab that the patient tries to form between himself and the analyst to cover over his wounds. The analyst keeps the surface raw, so that the wound will heal properly Picture Quote #1

I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing’s simple. It’s real Picture Quote #1

No man but feels more of a man in the world if he have a bit of ground that he can call his own. However small it is on the surface, it is four thousand miles deep; and that is a very handsome property Picture Quote #1

Cats have intercepted my footsteps at the ankle for so long that my gait, both at home and on tour, has been compared to that of a man wading through low surf Picture Quote #1

The modern airplane creates a new geographical dimension. A navigable ocean of air blankets the whole surface of the globe. There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one Picture Quote #1

Pilots are a rare kind of human. They leave the ordinary surface of the word, to purify their soul in the sky, and they come down to earth, only after receiving the communion of the infinite Picture Quote #1

When we skim along the surface of history we see little but the rough barren rocks that rise out of it Picture Quote #1

Voluptuaries, consumed by their senses, always begin by flinging themselves with a great display of frenzy into an abyss. But they survive, they come to the surface again. And they develop a routine of the abyss: It’s four o clock. At five I have my abyss Picture Quote #1

From birth, man carries the weight of gravity on his shoulders. He is bolted to earth. But man has only to sink beneath the surface and he is free Picture Quote #1

We speak of concrete and not abstract painting because nothing is more concrete, more real than a line, a color, a surface Picture Quote #1

All political power is primarily an illusion. Illusion. Mirrors and blue smoke, beautiful blue smoke rolling over the surface of highly polished mirrors, first a thin veil of blue smoke, then a thick cloud that suddenly dissolves into wisps of blue smoke, the mirrors catching it all, bouncing it back and forth Picture Quote #1

In the city one clings to nostalgic and unreal signs of community, takes forced refuge in codes, badges and coteries; the city’s life, of surfaces and locomotion, usually seems too dangerous and demanding to live through with any confidence Picture Quote #1

Happiness, I think, lies on the surface... when one plunges under the surface all the buoyant things disappear, and the farther down one gets the more cold and dark it seems: and the more oppressive space feels Picture Quote #1

Our country asserts for itself the glory of being the freest upon the surface of the globe... but one dark spot still dimmed its lustre. Domestic slavery existed among a people who had themselves disdained to submit to a master Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t wish the eighties on anyone, it was the time when all that was rotten bubbled to the surface. If you were not at the receiving end of this mayhem you could be unaware of it. It was possible to live through the decade preoccupied by the mortgage and the pence you saved on your income tax. It was also possible for those of us who saw what was happening to turn our eyes in a different direction; but what, in another decade, had been a trip to the clap clinic was now a trip to the mortuary Picture Quote #1
