The world is content with setting right the surface of things.
John Henry Newman
Image
Paint should not be applied thick. It should be like a breath on the surface of a pane of glass.
James Whistler
Image
It's the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors.
Oscar Wilde
Image
Beneath the surface of repartee and mock seriousness, [Plato's Phaedrus] is asking whether we ought to prefer a neuter form of speech to the kind which is ever getting us aroused over things and provoking an expense of spirit.
Richard M. Weaver

Some of my favorite poems are confessional poems written in the voices of aliens (Southbound on the Freeway by May Swenson and Report from the Surface by Anthony McCann), sheep (Snow Line by John Berryman) or a yak (The Only Yak in Batesville, Virginia by Oni Buchanan).

There's always a pattern in order to make a thing, but the starting point must be something I've never seen before. It's not two-dimensional, but it's like a sample. I work with patterns like a sculptor. I try to get [the team] not to work on a body, [but] to work on a free space, on a table. The work is basically on flat surfaces.

Animal agriculture takes up an incredible 70% of all agricultural land, and a whopping 30% of the land surface of the planet. As a result, farmed animals are probably the biggest cause of slashing and burning the world's forests.

There is no one who has cooked but has discovered that each particular dish depends for its rightness upon some little point which he is never told. It is not only so of cooking: it is so of splicing a rope of painting a surface of wood of mixing mortar of almost anything you like to name among the immemorial human arts.
Hilaire Belloc
Image
Here the people seem to possess the secret of tranquility and to live lives of more than surface contentment.
Louise Dickinson Rich
Image
Everyone can feel the nothingness, the void, just beneath the surface of everyday routines and securities.
John Zerzan
Image
Are you referring to the fact that you can't walk across a flat, stable surface without finding something to trip over?
Stephenie Meyer
Image
Our masks, always in peril of smearing or cracking, in need of continuous check in the mirror or silverware, keep us in thrall to ourselves, concerned with our surfaces.
Carolyn Kizer

By refocusing our space program on Mars for America's future, we can restore the sense of wonder and adventure in space exploration that we knew in the summer of 1969. We won the moon race now it's time for us to live and work on Mars, first on its moons and then on its surface.
Buzz Aldrin
Image
Art is a process of concentration. It is both the distilled essence and the commentary upon otherwise mundane activities and reflections. Musical notes must be charged, must gather more than one and the surface meaning, must reveal audible and inaudible connections to other notes, patterns, and meaning, either by way of affinity or contrast.
Russell Sherman
Image
Travel is a ceaseless fount of surface education, But its wisdom will be simply superficial, if thou add not thoughts to things.
Martin Farquhar Tupper
Image
Deep at the center of my being there is an infinite well of love. I now allow this love to flow to the surface.
Louise Hay
Image
With The Nightingale, I had been kicking the idea around for years. I was frightened to write it because on the surface it seems so different for me.

It's a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you because the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on earth. It's an interesting place to be. I recommend it.
Neil Armstrong
Image
My art is an attempt to reach beyond the surface appearance. I want to see growth in wood, time in stone, nature in a city, and I do not mean its parks but a deeper understanding that a city is nature too-the ground upon which it is built, the stone with which it is made.
Andy Goldsworthy
Image
You can't be deep without a surface
Jonathan Lethem
Image
I'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on.
Laura Dern
Image
Good music often starts in underground culture and then comes to the surface.
Felix Buxton
Image
Remember, folks - do not doubt me on this - the media gets up every day hoping, praying, dreaming, thinking that that day something is going to surface or happen that will end up being the silver bullet that gets rid of Donald Trump.
Rush Limbaugh
Image
Now imagine that you are going beneath the surface of the ocean. Below the surface all is calm, silent, and serene. As you visualize yourself going deeper and deeper into the depths of the ocean, feel that a profound peace is entering you.
