"At one side of the palette there..." - Quote by Winston Churchill
At one side of the palette there is white, at the other black; and neither is ever used neat.

“There comes a precious moment in all of our lives when we are tapped on the shoulder and offered the opportunity to do something very special that is unique to us and our abilities, what a tragedy it would be if we are not ready or willing.”
“We have no lasting friends, no lasting enemies, only lasting interests.”
“We should lay aside every hindrance and endeavour by uniting the whole force and spirit of our people to raise again a great British nation standing up before all the world; for such a nation, rising in its ancient vigour, can even at this hour save civilization.”
More on Art
“Art arises when the secret vision of the artist and the manifestation of nature agree to find new shapes.”
“Art is not a copy of the real world; one of the damn things is enough.”
“So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.”
More on Painting
“Painting isn't a question of sensibility; it's a matter of seizing the power, taking over from nature, not expecting her to supply you with information and good advice.”
“You can go to the moon or walk under the sea, or anything else you like, but painting remains painting because it eludes such investigation. It remains there like a question. And it alone gives the answer.”
“In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.”
