The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends and where the other begins?

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship and it is far the best ending for one.

As Ralph's character begins to discover the political thriller aspect of the film he falls deeper in love with his wife so the two run together. That's the beauty of this film. It has fast pace and excitement but it also has heart and soul.

In chess one cannot control everything. Sometimes a game takes an unexpected turn in which beauty begins to emerge. Both players are always instrumental in this.

Beauty is about perception not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up or dress yourself or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.

Like charity I believe glamour should begin at home.

Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor and your picture begins to lighten up.

It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which more than anything else will affect its successful outcome.

The worst state of affairs is when science begins to concern itself with art.

The downfall of the industry seems to actually be good for art. I think the industry will find their way once the focus shifts from its greed-based origins downsizes and begins to support creative visions that speak to our times and shifting ideals.

Because most of my career in the classroom has been at art schools (beginning at Bennington in the 1970s) I am hyper-aware of the often grotesque disconnect between commentary on the arts and the actual practice or production of the arts.

I think of art at its most significant as a DEW line a Distant Early Warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it.

Art at its most significant is a Distant Early Warning System that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it.

Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art.

The beginning of a friendship the fact that two people out of the thousands around them can meet and connect and become friends seems like a kind of magic to me. But maintaining a friendship requires work. I don't mean that as a bad thing. Good art requires work as well.

A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art.

Art begins in imitation and ends in innovation.

You begin with the possibilities of the material.

Every other artist begins with a blank canvas a piece of paper the photographer begins with the finished product.

Art begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

Escape from the architecture ghetto is one of the major drivers and has been from the very beginning.

I see the Beijing National Stadium as an architectural project. I accepted Herzog and De Meuron's invitation to collaborate on the design and our proposal won the competition. From beginning to end I stayed with the project. I am committed to fostering relationships between a city and its architecture.
