Quote Day
Today is Random Quote Day, but, as I often discover, quotes can be wonderful starting points. So, here are some of my favorites.
"In the end, everything is a gag." Charlie Chaplin
"There is no terror in the bang, only the aniticpation of it." Alfred Hitchcock
"I do not literally paint that table, but the emotion it produces upon me." Henri Matisse
"Silence is sometimes an answer." - Estonian Proverb
"Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination." Voltaire
A couple about writing:
"The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work." Emile Zola
"For poems are not, as people think, simply emotions (one has emotions early enough)—they are experiences." Rainer Maria Rilke
and my favorite:
"If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint," then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced. " Vincent Van Gogh
