"You can't escape your own period. Whether..." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“I paint what I think, not what I see.”

“The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting. And the dust that falls on it every day remains there. Everything that's come down to us from the past has been conserved by dust.”

“You must always work not just within but below your means. If you can handle three elements, handle only two. If you can handle ten, then handle only five. In that way the ones you do handle, you handle with more ease, more mastery, and you create a feeling of strength in reserve.”

“History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.”

“I can't stand it to think my life is going so fast and I'm not really living it.”

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

“Thus does the Muse herself move men divinely inspired, and through them thus inspired a Chain hangs together of others inspired divinely likewise.”

“I don't mean to sound corny, but it's one word: results. If you get results, you can get anyone.”

“It is not possible to know how far the influence of any amiable, honest-hearted duty-doing man flies out into the world, but it is very possible to know how it has touched one's self in going by.”
