Brush Quotations
I just think that it's maybe fashionable today to try to take individual actions and individual failures and take the broadest possible brush and try to paint a company. Lee Scott Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. Henry Ward Beecher It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds. Samuel Adams A hair in the head is worth two in the brush. William Hazlitt When I say artist I mean the man who is building things - creating molding the earth - whether it be the plains of the west - or the iron ore of Penn. It's all a big game of construction - some with a brush - some with a shovel - some choose a pen. Jackson Pollock |
