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.

More quotes by Emily Carr
real art is religion, a search for the beauty of God deep in all things.
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
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
Up came the sun, and drank the dew.
Emily Carr
There is no right and wrong way to paint except honestly or dishonestly. Honestly is trying for the bigger thing. Dishonestly is bluffing and getting through a smattering of surface representation with no meaning.
Emily Carr
When you really think about your hand you begin to realize its connection, to sense the hum of your own being passing through it. When we look at a piece of the universe we should feel the same.
Emily Carr
Got a new pup. He is half griffon. The other half is mistake.
Emily Carr
The house begins to be a home. The unfamiliar places are beginning to fold the familiar objects into their keeping and to cozy them down. Objects that swore at each other when the movers heaved them into the new rooms have subsided into corners and sit to lick their feet and wash their faces like cats accepting a new home.
Emily Carr
You always feel when you look it straight in the eye that you could have put more into it, could have let yourself go and dug harder.
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
It is wonderful to feel the grandness of Canada in the raw, not because she is Canada but because she's something sublime that you were born into, some great rugged power that you are a part of.
Emily Carr
What a splendid time Woo must have had.
Emily Carr
Writing is a splendid sorter of... feelings, better even than paint.
Emily Carr
Oh I do want that thing, that oneness of movement that will catch the thing up into one movement and sing - harmony of life.
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
Rentals sank, living rose. I could not afford help. I must be owner, agent, landlady and janitor. I loathed landladying... I tried in every way to augment my income. Small fruit, hens, rabbits, dogs - pottery... I never painted now - had neither time nor wanting. For about fifteen years I did not paint.
Emily Carr
Inspiration is intention obeyed.
Emily Carr
Go out there into the glory of the woods. See God in every particle of them expressing glory and strength and power, tenderness and protection. Know that they are God expressing God made manifest.
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
I was not ready for abstraction. I clung to earth and her dear shapes, her density, her herbage, her juice. I wanted her volume, and I wanted to hear her throb.
