More quotes by M. C. Escher
Simplicity and order are, if not the principal, then certainly the most important guidelines for human beings in general.
M. C. Escher
If I am not mistaken, the word art and artist did not exist during the Renaissance and before: there were simply architects, sculptors, and painters, practicing a trade.
M. C. Escher
Hands, are the most honest part of the human body, they cannot lie as laughing eyes and the mouth can.
M. C. Escher
Drawing is deception.
M. C. Escher
I might be in the basement. I'll go upstairs and check. We adore chaos because we love to produce order. I don't use drugs my dreams are frightening enough.
M. C. Escher
Order is repetition of units. Chaos is multiplicity without rhythm.
M. C. Escher
Originality is merely an illusion.
M. C. Escher
Wonder is the salt of the earth.
M. C. Escher
I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough.
M. C. Escher
At moments of great enthusiasm it seems to me that no one in the world has ever made something this beautiful and important.
M. C. Escher
It is human nature to want to exchange ideas, and I believe that, at bottom, every artist wants no more than to tell the world what he has to say.
M. C. Escher
I don't grow up. In me is the small child of my early days.
M. C. Escher
I am a graphic artist heart and soul, though I find the term artist rather embarrassing.
M. C. Escher
I never got a pass mark in math... Just imagine - mathematicians now use my prints to illustrate their books. Funny me consorting with all these learned folks, as though I were their long lost brother. I guess they are unaware of the fact that I am ignorant about the whole thing.
M. C. Escher
I could fill an entire second life with working on my prints.
M. C. Escher
I came to the ... open gate of mathematics. From here, well-trodden paths lead in every direction, and since then I have often spent time there. Sometimes I think ... I have trodden all the paths ... and then I suddenly discover a new path and experience fresh delights.
M. C. Escher
We adore chaos because we love to produce order.
M. C. Escher
The things I want to express are so beautiful and pure.
M. C. Escher
As far as I know, there is no proof whatever of the existence of an objective reality apart from our senses, and I do not see why we should accept the outside world as such solely by virtue of our senses.
M. C. Escher
I might be in the basement. I'll go upstairs and check.
