Pictures must not be too picturesque.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.
Walt Disney

I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine.
Audrey Hepburn

The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?
Pablo Picasso

Objects in pictures should so be arranged as by their very position to tell their own story.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

'What is the use of a book', thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversations?'
Lewis Carroll

It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.
Vincent Van Gogh

I see drawings and pictures in the poorest of huts and the dirtiest of corners.
Vincent Van Gogh

The success I have achieved in bodybuilding, motion pictures, and business would not have been possible without the generosity of the American people and the freedom here to pursue your dreams.
Arnold Schwarzenegger

I get really restless when I haven't worked for a day and a half. I have a recurring dream that people are lined up next to my bed, waiting for autographs and taking pictures of me!
Taylor Swift

You can't get any pictures from way back there.
Leo Durocher

All my pictures are built around the idea of getting in trouble and so giving me the chance to be desperately serious in my attempt to appear as a normal little gentleman.
Charlie Chaplin

I don't want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.
Greta Garbo

I'm leaving the screen because I don't think I am very good in the pictures and I have this beautiful dream that I'm elegant on the stage.
Helen Hayes

My wife and I had decided not to let anybody take pictures of our home because it was just the last place on earth we had that was unscathed. But people have climbed over the fence; they've taken aerial shots. They've gotten my address and put it on the Internet.
Steven Tyler

We used to go to the pictures every Saturday night but we had to leave a little bit early and get home and watch Match of the Day - and my wife still complains she missed the last five minutes of every film we saw.
Brian Clough

At first, I see pictures of a story in my mind. Then creating the story comes from asking questions of myself. I guess you might call it the 'what if - what then' approach to writing and illustration.
Chris Van Allsburg

Whoever wants to know something about me - as an artist which alone is significant - they should look attentively at my pictures and there seek to recognise what I am and what I want.
Gustav Klimt

There is nothing that special to see when looking at me. I'm a painter who paints day in day out, from morning till evening - figure pictures and landscapes, more rarely portraits.
Gustav Klimt

Making pictures, for an actress, is like betting, for a gambler. Each time you make a picture you try to analyze why you won or lost.
Hedy Lamarr
