More quotes by Emily Carr
real art is religion, a search for the beauty of God deep in all things.
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
Writing is a splendid sorter of... feelings, better even than paint.
Emily Carr
Do not try to do extraordinary things but do ordinary things with intensity.
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.
Emily Carr
Be careful that you do not write or paint anything that is not your own, that you don't know in your own soul.
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
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
Trying to find equivalents for things in words helps me find equivalents in painting.
Emily Carr
Up came the sun, and drank the dew.
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
So still were the big woods where I sat, sound might not yet have been born.
Emily Carr
Perfectly ordered disorder designed with a helter-skelter magnificence.
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
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
Got a new pup. He is half griffon. The other half is mistake.
Emily Carr
What a splendid time Woo must have had.
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
Inspiration is intention obeyed.
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
