More quotes by Emily Carr
Oh, the glory of growth, silent, mighty, persistent, inevitable! To awaken, to open up like a flower to the light of a fuller consciousness!
Emily Carr
Indian Art broadened my seeing, loosened the formal tightness I had learned in England's schools. Its bigness and stark reality baffled my white man's understanding... I had been schooled to see outsides only, not struggle to pierce.
Emily Carr
Trying to find equivalents for things in words helps me find equivalents in painting.
Emily Carr
Writing is a splendid sorter of... feelings, better even than paint.
Emily Carr
The biggest part of painting perhaps is faith, and waiting receptively, content to go any way, not planning or forcing. The fear, though, is laziness. It is so easy to drift and finally be tossed up on the beach, derelict.
Emily Carr
The spirit must be felt so intensely that it has power to call others in passing, for it must pass, not stop in the pictures.
Emily Carr
There is a side of friendship that develops better and stronger by correspondence than contact.... The absence of the flesh in writing perhaps brings souls nearer.
Emily Carr
Perfectly ordered disorder designed with a helter-skelter magnificence.
Emily Carr
The men resent a woman getting any honour in what they consider is essentially their field. Men painters mostly despise women painters. So I have decided to stop squirming, to throw any honour in with Canada and women.
Emily Carr
The artist himself may not think he is religious, but if he is sincere his sincerity in itself is religion.
Emily Carr
Up came the sun, and drank the dew.
Emily Carr
You must be absolutely honest and true in the depicting of a totem for meaning is attached to every line. You must be most particular about detail and proportion.
Emily Carr
There was neither horizon, cloud, nor sound of that pink, spread silence even I had become part, belonging as much to sky as to earth.
Emily Carr
Oh, Spring! I want to go out and feel you and get inspiration. My old things seem dead. I want fresh contacts, more vital searching.
Emily Carr
Do not try to do extraordinary things but do ordinary things with intensity.
Emily Carr
real art is religion, a search for the beauty of God deep in all things.
Emily Carr
I am always watching for fear of getting feeble and passé in my work. I don't want to trickle out. I want to pour till the pail is empty, the last bit going out in a gush, not in drops.
Emily Carr
It's all the unwordable things one wants to write about, just as it's all the unformable things one wants to paint - essence.
Emily Carr
Let me not fuss and fret at my incompetence but be still and know that Thou art God.
Emily Carr
Inspiration is intention obeyed.
Emily Carr
