Memory is a painter. Paintin's not important. The important thing is keepin' busy.

I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it.

I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene.

Even now / I am not old. / I never think of it, and yet / I am a grandmother to eleven grandchildren.

I'll get an inspiration and start painting; then I'll forget everything, everything except how things used to be and how to paint it so people will know how we used to live.

I like to paint something that leads me on and on into the unknown, something that I want to see away on beyond.

People should take time to be happy.

I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people.

Life is what you make it.

I don't advise any one to take it [painting] up as a business proposition, unless they really have talent... But I will say that I have did remarkable for one of my years, and experience.

If you know somethin' well, you can always paint it but people would be better off buyin' chickens.

Learn from your history, but don’t live in it.

I could not love thee, Dear, so much, Loved I not Honour more.

I didn't know someone could cry that much, I thought the tears would run out. They don't.

Human madness is oftentimes a cunning and most feline thing. When you think it fled, it may have but become transfigured into some still subtler form.

Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. It's nothing to brag about...Religion is dangerous because it allows human beings, who don't have all the answers, to think that they do.

Americans are going to see that as the more religious a Muslim is, the more likely they're going to end up somehow fighting for ISIS' cause.

In 1929 the discovery of the wonders of the geometric series struck Wall Street with a force comparable to the invention of the wheel.

I remember mentioning to friends back in 1938 that the world chess champion would be beaten by a computer in 50 years time. Today we know computers are not far from this goal.

There are people who don't respond to color. That's what painting is. It's color.

I read a lot of graphic novels - some of my favorites graphic novelists or artists are Rebecca Kraatz, Gabrielle Bell, Graham Roumieu, Tom Gauld, and Renee French.
