More quotes by Irving Stone
Sometimes men are generous and forgiving, sometimes angry and blind.
Irving Stone
The maximum value of art is that it allows the artist to express himself.
Irving Stone
Do not call yourself old. A man is as old as the creative force within him.
Irving Stone
All artists are crackpots. And it's their finest feature.
Irving Stone
Each of us has his own alphabet with which to create poetry.
Irving Stone
Pleasure is one of the most important things in life, as important as food or drink.
Irving Stone
Everyone has their own personality, its own character, and if he respects that, everything would finally fall over for good only.
Irving Stone
He made his colours, built his stretchers, plastered his canvas, painted his pictures, carpentered his frames, and painted them. 'Too bad I can't buy my own pictures,' he murmured aloud. 'Then I'd be completely self-sufficient.'
Irving Stone
I will be an artist. I am sure I will. [Vincent Van Gogh]
Irving Stone
He had been standing still for an artist, one of the more painful forms of death.
Irving Stone
Art's a staple. Like bread or wine or a warm coat in winter. Those who think it is a luxury have only a fragment of a mind. Man's spirit grows hungry for art in the same way his stomach growls for food.
Irving Stone
We...believe that art is religious, because it is one of man's highest aspirations. There is no such thing as pagan art, only good and bad art.
Irving Stone
What we know of others is our personal secret.
Irving Stone
From out of pain, beauty.
Irving Stone
Life's not so bad after all. There are not only poison but also antidotes.
Irving Stone
Normal people do not create art.
Irving Stone
Every human life had its pattern that had to be worked out slowly to its ultimate conclusion.
Irving Stone
From the biography of Freud, by Irving Stone, said by Freud's fiance after he teased her for being sweet, Beware of truly sweet people. They have will of iron.
Irving Stone
An artist would not rise above the mediocrity if he condemns it.
Irving Stone
Our secret thoughts - do they ever show up? The small flame of our soul can be burning hot, but no one comes to its warmth. Passersby see only a small whiff going through the chimney. Don't we need to take care of that flame, cherish it and patiently wait until someone will come and sit at it, do we?
Irving Stone
