Wed Quotes

My sister played the piano. She’s two years older than me, and I always wanted to play something. So my grandmother got the guitar for me, and showed me a couple of chords to start off. And then I got me a book. Next thing you know, I was playing along with sister Picture Quote #1

There’s got to be a point where we fix the system so that legal immigration is easier than illegal immigration and show respect for people, a kid who might have been here for 10 years, that might be a valedictorian of their high school to say, no, no, no you’re not allowed to go to college. I just think there’s a point past which we are over the line Picture Quote #1

After nine or 10 years of being interviewed, you start wanting to team up with the reporter and get the job done Picture Quote #1

The people that I photographed allowed me to photograph them because they didn’t want to be alone, and the truth is I didn’t want to be alone making the pictures Picture Quote #1

Many books serve merely to show how many ways there are of being wrong, and how far astray you yourself would go if you followed their guidance. You should read only when your own thoughts dry up Picture Quote #1

The photographic enthusiast likes to lure us into a darkened room in order to display his slides on a silver screen. Aided by the adaptability of the eye and by the borrowed light from the intense projector bulb, he can achieve those relationships in brightness that will make us dutifully admire the wonderful autumn tints he photographed on his latest trip. As soon as we look at a print of these photographs by day, the light seems to go out of them. It is one of the miracles of art that the same does not happen there Picture Quote #1

Quite often in history action has been the echo of words. An era of talk was followed by an era of events. The new barbarism of the twentieth century is the echo of words bandied about by brilliant speakers and writers in the second half of the nineteenth Picture Quote #1

When you stack up all the years we are allowed against all there is to read, time is very short indeed Picture Quote #1

Those who by form did see me and those who followed me by voice. Wrong the efforts they engaged in, those people will not see me Picture Quote #1

One must not be mean with the affections; what is spent of the fund is renewed in the spending itself Picture Quote #1

Too much rigidity on the part of teachers should be followed by a brisk spirit of insubordination on the part of the taught Picture Quote #1

There is never any fair and thorough discussion of heretical opinions... The greatest harm done is to those who are not heretics, and whose whole mental development is cramped and their reason cowed, by the fear of heresy Picture Quote #1

A desire to kneel down sometimes pulses through my body, or rather it is as if my body has been meant and made for the act of kneeling. Sometimes, in moments of deep gratitude, kneeling down becomes an overwhelming urge, head deeply bowed, hands before my face Picture Quote #1

You know, it’s weird being interviewed! Because the weird thing about being interviewed is you get asked these questions that you’ve never thought about, and you find out what you think as you answer Picture Quote #1

The avowed aim of all utopian movements is to put an end to history and to establish a final and permanent calm Picture Quote #1

It is a fact that plants also have life like animals. But animals are endowed with mind, and nervous systems too while the plants do not possess the same Picture Quote #1

One’s art is just one’s effort to wed oneself to the universe, to unify oneself through union Picture Quote #1

Why can’t fellows be allowed to do what they like when they like and as they like, instead of other fellows sitting on banks and watching them all the time and making remarks and poetry and things about them? Picture Quote #1

Manet did not do the expected. He was a pioneer. He followed his individual whim. Told the public what he wanted it to know, not the time worn things the public already knew and thought it wanted to hear again. The public was very much offended Picture Quote #1

The character of greatness must be measured in two ways, else the measurement is flawed. First, and by far most popular of all, is by one’s ability to succeed in times of trial where others may fail. But of no less importance, and perhaps foundational to any form of greatness, is one’s willingness to start over in spite of failure, when success seems farthest away Picture Quote #1

As an artist you’re looking for universal triggers. You want it both ways. You want it to have an immediate impact, and you want it to have deep meanings as well. I’m striving for both. But I hate it when people write things that sound like they’ve swallowed a f... dictionary Picture Quote #1

Obasanjo has openly endorsed violence as a means of governance, embraced and empowered individuals whose avowed declarations, confessions and acts are cynically contrary to the mandate that alone upholds the legitimacy and dignity of his office Picture Quote #1

I did not kill my father, but I sometimes felt I had helped him on his way. And but for the fact that it coincided with a landmark in my own physical growth, his death seemed insignificant compared to what followed Picture Quote #1

What will happen to me, as the oyster said when he very inadvertently swallowed the gooseberry bush, nobody can tell Picture Quote #1

Good planning avoids the need for fixing up a project that plowed ahead without thought... about potential pitfalls Picture Quote #1

Maybe the preoccupation with technological progress has overshadowed our concern with human progress Picture Quote #1

Charters give public school teachers the flexibility to design programs to the individual student needs. They no longer have to go to a distant bureaucracy to ask for permission. By being allowed to make their own decisions the teachers are able to create strong partnerships with parents Picture Quote #1

I went to an audition the other day, they were casting 13 people to be clouds, 14 people showed up, it was overcast Picture Quote #1

I believe that no matter how many mistakes we’ve made; how badly we’ve really, really screwed up; how old, worn out, or dejected we’ve become; as long as there is true, steadfast ambition, all of us have an opportunity for greatness Picture Quote #1

I trust my work. It’s a collaboration with the material, and when it’s viewed, it’s a collaboration with the world Picture Quote #1
