It is sometimes forgotten how much wit there is in certain works of abstract art. There is a certain point in undergoing anguish when one encounters the comic.

Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it.

Art is an experience, not an object.

Walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song, and all about you will be beauty. There is a way out of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail.

Wherever art appears, life disappears.

Without ethical consciousness, a painter is only a decorator.

Painting is a medium in which the mind can actualize itself; it is a medium of thought. Thus painting, like music, tends to become its own content.

If one were to ask a painter what he felt about anything, his just response - though he seldom makes it - would be to paint it, and in painting, to find out.

Painting that does not radiate feeling is not worth looking at. The deepest-and rarest-of grown-up pleasures is true feeling.

The main thing is not to be dead.

It's not that the creative act and the critical act are simultaneous. It's more like you blurt something out and then analyze it.

Look at towards the future! If you see something, it is your imagination only! Because the future is not there yet, it has not born yet!

You can't solve problems until you understand the other side." –Jeffrey Manber

The left and Democrats are relying on the decline the American character that left-wing policies have produced.

I love this mansion, though it is too many windows ...to open halfway each morning ...to close halfway each night.

This is what I want to be. An instrument of mercy, not vengeance.

The great soul of this world is just.

It's sadness coming on like the old days, the vast seamless hopeless weight of sadness looking for a place to rest.

God's reckless grace is our greatest hope.

How much an ill word may empoison liking!
