“For me, a landscape does not exist in its own right, since its appearance changes at every moment; but the surrounding atmosphere brings it to life - the light and the air which vary continually. For me, it is only the surrounding atmosphere which gives subjects their true value.”
Claude Monet
“When it comes, the Landscape listens - Shadows - hold their breath - When it goes, 'tis like the Distance On the look of Death”
Emily Dickinson
“If a given combination of trees, mountains, water, and houses, say a landscape, is beautiful, it is not so by itself, but because of me, of my favor, of the idea or feeling I attach to it.”
Charles Baudelaire
“A painted landscape is always more beautiful than a real one, because there's more there. Everything is more sensual, and one takes refuge in its beauty. And man needs spiritual expression and nourishing. It's why even in the prehistoric era, people would scrawl pictures of bison on the walls of caves. Man needs music, literature, and painting-all those oases of perfection that make up art-to compensate for the rudeness and materialism of life.”
Fernando Botero
“No one knows what cuases an outer landscape to become an inner one.”

Cecil Beaton
“All gardening is landscape painting.”
William Kent
“From what I've heard about Israel and its sites, landscape, beaches and historical and religious heritage, it is a wonderful place to visit. I told my friends that I'm going to Israel because I'm a New Yorker, and a New Yorker goes to Israel.”
Chris Noth
