Pictures Quotes
-
Perfect Tommy: Pictures don't lie.
Reno: The hell they don't. I met my first wife that way.
Earl Mac Rauch
-
Norman Rockwell spent his career painting pictures that helped people understand their own feelings...pictures that enriched their own experiences and celebrated their own lives. But the art establishment branded him an 'illustrator', a sentimental one at that. Real artists, they said were doing art for art's sake, not for the sake of the bourgeois public. Real artists were putting swiggles, smears or daubs of paint on the canvas. They were doing 'innovative' and 'creative' work. If they were hideous and grotesque; we know that's what life really is!
Bill Bonner
-
I understand my own pictures best six months after I have done them.
Pablo Picasso
-
I think of writing--particularly of writing picture books--as a kind of choreography. A picture book must have pace and movement and pattern. Pictures and text should, together, create the pattern, rather than simply run parallel.
Beatrice Schenk de Regniers
-
The motion pictures I have made and the plays I have chosen to direct represent my convictions.
Elia Kazan
-
Pictures are written, acted, directed, photographed, edited, scored and all that. The screenwriter determines what scenes are in and what scenes are out; decides whether that bit of information is dramatized or just referred to; whether it takes place on or off screen. There are millions of decisions made by the screenwriter.
Ernest Lehman
-
In my brain were stored a thousand pictures.
Hermann Hesse
-
You don't do pictures because the audience is ready for them. You do them because there's something gnawing at you, something inside.
Paul Haggis
-
I sometimes make pictures which are not up to my standard, but then it can only be said of a mediocrity that all his work is up to his standard.
Ernst Lubitsch
-
My movies more often are told through pictures, not words. But in this case, the pictures took second position to the incredible words of Abraham Lincoln and his presence ... I was less interested in an outpouring of imagery than in letting the most human moment of this story evolve before us.
Steven Spielberg
-
I like to be flexible in the way I take pictures. I do not use a tripod, and I move around in the crowd, of which I am myself part.... I try to preserve the dynamics of the street, and my way of using the camera tries to approximate as much as possible the way we see: focusing on details, opening up to wider angles, and composing all these very short, fragmented impressions into a larger mental picture.
Beat Streuli
-
We will continue to renew and redefine Sony Pictures.
Michael Lynton
-
In one way or another, I always marked my pictures. But there were times when I put my signature on the back of the canvas. All my works from the cubist period, until about 1914, have my name and the date on the back side of the stretcher. I know someone spread the story that in Céret, Braque and I decided not to sign our pictures anymore. But that's just a legend!
Pablo Picasso
-
And pictures of perfection, as you know, make me sick and wicked.
Jane Austen
-
Pictures, propagated by motion along the fibers of the optic nerves in the brain, are the cause of vision.
Isaac Newton
-
There is not a big difference between life and taking pictures... You're in the middle of life, you're living, making love, eating, sleeping - and photography is part of it. And I don't say this because I'm being romantic. I say this because that's just the way it happens to be.
Anders Petersen
