Parents are usually more careful to bestow knowledge on their children rather than virtue the art of speaking well rather than doing well but their manners should be of the greatest concern.

I am a walking piece of art every day with my dreams and my ambitions forward at all times in an effort to inspire my fans to lead their life in that way.

Winners have the ability to step back from the canvas of their lives like an artist gaining perspective. They make their lives a work of art - an individual masterpiece.

Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts - the book of their deeds the book of their words and the book of their art.

Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately it can propel people toward social emancipation.

I think music is the greatest art form that exists and I think people listen to music for different reasons and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music and some of it is things that might affect a person's day if not their life or change an attitude. The best songs are the ones that make you feel something.

Every bit of me is devoted to love and art. And I aspire to try to be a teacher to my young fans who feel just like I felt when I was younger. I just felt like a freak. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm trying to liberate them I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can make their own space in the world.

The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.

To my mind the old masters are not art their value is in their scarcity.

Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them.

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.

I think in art but especially in films people are trying to confirm their own existences.

Artists themselves are not confined but their output is.

An artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things but their inward significance.

First there is the bare beauty of the logs themselves with their long lines and firm curves. Then there is the open charm felt of the structural features which are not hidden under plaster and ornament but are clearly revealed a charm felt in Japanese architecture.

I would like my architecture to inspire people to use their own resources to move into the future.

The ancient Romans built their greatest masterpieces of architecture their amphitheaters for wild beasts to fight in.

Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.

The Romans were not inventors of the supporting arch but its extended use in vaults and intersecting barrel shapes and domes is theirs.

My buildings don't speak in words but by means of their own spaciousness.

Proportions are what makes the old Greek temples classic in their beauty. They are like huge blocks from which the air has been literally hewn out between the columns.

I try to give people a different way of looking at their surroundings. That's art to me.

Those who look for the laws of Nature as a support for their new works collaborate with the creator.
