Romance and novel paint beauty in colors more charming than nature, and describe a happiness that humans never taste. How deceptive and destructive are those pictures of consummate bliss!
Oliver Goldsmith

These are the people who are going to see the pictures in my museum.
Norton Simon

An empty canvas is a living wonder... far lovelier than certain pictures.
Wassily Kandinsky

I like form and shape and strength in pictures.
Herb Ritts

It can make you sad to look at pictures from your youth. So there's a trick to it. The trick is not to look at the later pictures.
Jerry Stiller

One of the things that wrong with pictures today, I think, is that so many of the people making them started out wanting to.
Peter Bogdanovich

30 years and 55 pictures - not more than five that were any good, or any good for me.
Gig Young

Entertainment is in art like color in pictures.
Martin Kippenberger

This would be a distortion of their meaning, since the pictures are intimate and intense, and are the opposite of what is decorative; and have been painted in a scale of normal living rather than an institutional scale.
Mark Rothko

I also hang the pictures low rather than high, and particularly in the case of the largest ones, often as close to the floor as is feasible, for that is the way they are painted.
Mark Rothko

And last, it may be worthwhile trying to hang something beyond the partial wall because some of the pictures do very well in a confined space.
Mark Rothko

I like to make pictures about people who make a difference.
Jerry Bruckheimer

I definitely take a lot of bad pictures!
Brooke Burke

The wonderful thing about television is the immediate impact of pictures of current events.
Will McDonough

My thought has been shaped by books; my desires by pictures.
Mason Cooley

I just say I'm an artist who works with pictures and words.
Barbara Kruger

The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.
Robert Mapplethorpe

The motion pictures I have made and the plays I have chosen to direct represent my convictions.
Elia Kazan

I don't like to read. The only things I read are gossip columns. If someone gives me a book, it had better have lots of pictures.
Ethel Merman

We don't have titles on our business cards. No one really gets any special treatment. No one gets a corner office to put pictures of their family and their dog in.
