To create one's world in any of the arts takes courage.

Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant, there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

The men liked to put me down as the best woman painter. I think I'm one of the best painters.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

Filling a space in a beautiful way - that is what art means to me.

I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty.

If you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for a moment.

Nobody sees a flower really; it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

When people read erotic symbols into my painting, they're really thinking about their own affairs.

It's not enough to be nice in life. You've got to have nerve.

Decide Your Destination First, path Will Be Automatically Generated

The word is the beginning and silence the end. Between word and silence, we exist.

Why so eager to jump in and direct someone else's life when you can't stick to your own goals and resolutions?

Memory, like so much else, is unreliable. Not only for what it hides and what it alters, but also for what it reveals.

I think Donald Trump's going to quickly disappear from radar.

Join me in the pure atmosphere of gratitude for life.

I don't want to wake up and not truly be enjoying my life and these amazing things around me.

People can criticise me all day long. It just washes off me. You might as well be talking to a wall.

It’s hard to look in charge when you’re hunched over like Quasimodo.

Fine, than I will not have to blame you for killing my friends with your stupidity. -Haymitch
