Oh I wish that I could paint again. Paint is an instrument without which I cannot survive for any length of time. Whenever I even think of gray, green and white, I am overcome with quivers of lust. Then I wish that this war would end and that I might paint again.
Max Beckmann
Degrade first the arts if you'd mankind degrade, Hire idiots to paint with cold light and hot shade.
William Blake
See my style it varies, like drugs in an alley. My leather so soft my paint prettier than Halle.
Lil Wayne

Georges Braque
Vainly the fowler's eye Might mark thy distant flight to do thee wrong, As, darkly painted on the crimson sky, Thy figure floats along.
William Cullen Bryant
