~ Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts. ~ ~ If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment. ~ ~ A painting is a symbol for the universe. Inside it, each piece relates to the other. Each piece is only answerable to the rest of that little world. So, probably in the total universe, there is that kind of total harmony, but we get only little tastes of it. ~ ~ Philosophers and aestheticians may offer elegant and profound definitions of art and beauty, but for the painter they are all summed up in the phrase: To create a harmony. ~ ~ Color harmony is just one type of relationship found in a painting. It comes from the nuances of the light, like the atmosphere connecting everything in the subject. ~ ~ Let us first say what photography is not. A photograph is not a painting, a poem, a symphony, a dance. It is not just a pretty picture, not an exercise in contortionist techniques and sheer print quality. It is or should be a significant document, a pene- trating statement, which can be described in a very simple term - selectivity. ~ ~ It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary. ~ ~ Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs. ~ ~ It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less magination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary. ~ ~ Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint, and the soil and sky as canvas. ~ ~ A friend drops their plans when you're in trouble, shares joy in your accomplishments, feels sad when you're in pain. A friend encourages your dreams and offers advice--but when you don't follow it, they still respect and love you ~ ~ Guilt is perhaps the most painful companion of death ~ ~ Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass. ~ ~ Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, Pain of love lasts a lifetime. ~ ~ Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is
winged Cupid painted blind. ~ ~ I never, till now, had a friend who could give me repose; all have disturbed me, and, whether for pleasure or pain, it was still disturbance. But peace
overflows from your heart into mine ~ ~ Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. ~ ~ One word frees us Of all the weight and pain in life, That word is Love ~ ~ God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world ~ ~ Til taught by pain, men really know not what good water is worth. ~ ~ Life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic. ~ ~ Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil. ~ ~ After great pain, a formal feeling comes. The Nerves sit ceremonious, like tombs. ~ ~ Without the pain there is no gain. ~ ~ Fear is nothing but anticipation of pain, be it physical,emotional,spiritual, or mental ~ ~ It is not a matter of how much pain or suffering one experiences that deems one as worthy. It is not how productive one is, either. ~ ~ Our stresses, anxieties, pains, and problems arise because we do not see the world, others, or even ourselves as worthy of love. ~ ~ Expression in words provokes thought, while expression in paint generates experience. ~ ~ You see, if you take pains and learn in order to get a reward, the work will seem hard; but when you work... if you love your work, you will find your reward in that. ~ ~ Poverty is relative, and the lack of food and of the necessities of life is not necessarily a hardship. Spiritual and social ostracism, the invasion of your privacy, are what constitute the pain of poverty. ~ |
