Paint with freedom. It gives you more mastery of the nature of paint.

Realize the value of putting down your first impression quickly.

The ring, the call, the surprise, the shock that you have out-of-doors - be always looking for the unexpected in nature, do not settle to a formula.

Put variety in white.

Each day has its own individuality of color.

Anything under the sun is beautiful if you have the vision it is the seeing of the thing that makes it so.

Do not let it look as if you reasoned too much. Painting must be impulsive to be worth while.

A sketch has charm because of its truth - not because it is unfinished.

By having the big lines of the composition going out of the canvas, your imagination can wander beyond the edge. It will make it seem part of a large composition.

Study continuously, developing yourself into a better person, more sensitive to things in nature. Spend years in getting ready.

Do studies, not pictures. Know when you are licked - start another. Be alive, stop when your interest is lost.

Life did not take over the world by combat, but by networking.

... if you keep an open mind, life will show you a way out of your problems.

One thing that is clearer to me every day is how much we all have in common, and one of those commonalities is that we all think we are alone.

You are person with a goal

Fiction is the poor persons travel agent.

You can't just reprise the news. You have to have journalism that makes a point and you have to be in sync with your audience.

Absolutism is a guarantee of objectionable morals in the same way that absolutism in government is a guarantee of objectionable government.

It is only when you despair of all ordinary means, it is only when you convince it that it must help you or you perish, that the seed of life in you bestirs itself to provide a new resource.

I really like my eyes, nose, and lips. I especially like my nose. I really like my lips too. I think my lips are sexy.
