Works Quotes
-
Someone once told me that if you respect a person, listen to their opinion. And if you do not respect someone, then do not listen to their opinion. And that works both ways.
Maisie Williams
-
If it's not broken, tinker with it till you find out how it works.
Bob Proctor
-
When we stop trying to control events, they fall into a natural order, an order that works. We're at rest while a power much greater than our own takes over, and it does a much better job than we could have done. We learn to trust that the power that holds galaxies together can handle the circumstances of our relatively little lives.
Marianne Williamson
-
Unfortunately, young Russian artists are in a difficult position today. Painting, like all other arts, rests on a continuity of experience. More than anything, young painters and sculptors need to know the works of their immediate elders. Such a continuity does not exist here to a sufficient degree in the visual arts.
Ilya Ehrenburg
-
When we are abandoned to God, He works through us all the time.
Oswald Chambers
-
To call a work of art Kitsch is to condemn it for being bad art. But there is a great deal of bad art that we do not condemn as Kitsch. To condemn something as Kitsch is to condemn it on moral grounds.
Karsten Harries
-
The stuff that works best is driven by passion rather than dollars.
Craig Newmark
-
It works well for my skating. I like the fact it gives weight to spins and jumps that were only checked off (under the 6.0 system). I'm really excited for the new system at Nationals.
Sasha Cohen
-
Ever since high school I've been writing in a spiral notebook, in pencil. Everything looks too polished on a computer when you start writing, and I can't really see it. I feel like the words are much more naked in pencil, on a notebook. I feel that my brain works differently, and words come out differently, if I have a pencil in my hand, rather than if I have a keyboard. I tend to add more in the margins. I tend to elongate the sentences as I'm writing and editing, and there is just something about the feeling of writing longhand that I really love.
Lily King
-
I have to go on writing because I wouldn't be able to go on without writing. It is the only function that works for me, and without that function, I would die.
Farley Mowat
-
That tower is owned by Southwest Communications and we have been unable to get a phone number that works for Southwest Communications.
John Reed
-
I usually don't say anything to the actors. It works better for me because when they come to the set, they are at the same time scared and excited because they are not well aware of what will happen.
Paolo Sorrentino
-
In 1915 Sophie Tauber and I carried out our first works in the simplest forms, using painting, embroidery and pasted paper without using oil colors to avoid any reference with usual painting. These were probably the first manifestations of their kind, pictures that were their own reality, without meaning or cerebral intention. We rejected everything in the nature of a copy or a description, in order to give free flow to what was elemental and spontaneous.
Hans Arp
-
For in order that man may do well, whether in the works of the active life, or in those of the contemplative life, he needs the fellowship of friends.
Thomas Aquinas
-
I think rehearsal can be important if it's done in a way that works. Often, rehearsal can be a waste of time.
Ewan McGregor
-
Man has used human rhythmic movement as raw material out of which to create works of art, as the composer of music uses sound, the sculptor uses stone and wood, the painter his pigments, and the writer - words.
Ted Shawn
-
It's naive to think you can change a person--except maybe that boy who works in the library.
Yeardley Smith
-
My works have always been unjoined. People were always making variations of my works, and I just said, "I don't want to know." You can't put limits on those pieces. You can't be there all of the time when they're installed.
Carl Andre
-
Business is business. You know how that works. Because stations run on ad money. If they're playing a gay artist, then ad money dries up. So they have to be careful.
Bob Mould
Hüsker Dü
-
Well we didn't look at it like that. We looked at it: "Why Carolyn Maloney?" Of course, we didn't know about Caroline Kennedy, but we do know and have - this is not against somebody, this is for somebody who we know has had a proven record. It's 16 years in the House, 10 years on the City Council of New York City, that she has shown her determination to pass legislation. She is - she knows how a legislature works.
Eleanor Smeal
-
The great subversive works of children's literature suggest that there are other views of human life besides those of the shopping mall and the corporation. They mock current assumptions and express the imaginative, unconventional, noncommercial view of the world in its simplest and purest form. They appeal to the imaginative, questioning, rebellious child within all of us, renew our instinctive energy, and act as a force for change. This is why such literature is worthy of our attention and will endure long after more conventional tales have been forgotten.
Alison Lurie

Isn't it wonderful to be an artist whose works have mostly been lost?
Carl Andre
