John Updike
“Before I built a wall I'd ask to know What I was walling in or walling out, And to whom I was like to give offense”
Robert Frost
“If the world could remain within a frame like a painting on the wall, I think we'd see the beauty then and stand staring in awe.”
Conor Oberst
“Now, we may knock down a few walls and give all the rooms a fresh coat of paint. But this definitely is not a rebuilding process.”
Mike McCarthy
“Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can”
Danny Kaye
“Most of our modern portrait painters are doomed to absolute oblivion. They never paint what they see. They paint what the public sees, and the public never sees anything.”
Oscar Wilde
“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
Jalal ad-Din Rumi
