“As a Nobel Prize winner I cannot but regret that the award was never given to Mark Twain, nor to Henry James, speaking only of my own countrymen. Greater writers than these also did not receive the prize. I would have been happy - happier - today if the prize had been given to that beautiful writer Isak Dinesen.” IfsHas BeensTodayBeautifulGivenMy OwnGreaterRegretMarkWinnerPrizeAwardsNobelNobel PrizeCountrymenNobel Prize Winners Book:Conversations with Ernest Hemingway Source: Conversations with Ernest Hemingway
“You usually get one or the other, you get someone who knows how to tell a story but they don't necessarily know about light and camera and rhythm, or you get someone who can make beautiful images but they can't necessarily tell a great story. He does both and I think he's going to be one of the film-makers that our time is remembered for.” ThinkingKnowsDoeStoriesLightBeautifulFilmKnow HowMarkCamerasRhythmRememberedOur TimeMakersBeautiful Images Author:Joseph Gordon-Levitt
“Mark Tobey fills his canvases with elliptical, calligraphic lines, beautiful whirls that seem at first glance to be completely abstract and to come from nowhere at all except his own subjective musing. But I shall never forget how struck I was, on visiting Tobey's studio one day, to see strewn around books on astronomy and photographs of the Milky Way. I knew then that Tobey experiences the movement of the stars and solar constellations as the external pole of his encounter.” WayFirstsBookSeemsBeautifulStarsLinesForgetMovementOne DayMarkPhotographStudiosAstronomyAbstractEncountersNever ForgetGlancesSubjectiveVisitingConstellationsMusingsMilky Way Author:Rollo May
“Monarchy can easily be "debunked," but watch the faces, mark well the debunkers. These are the men whose taproot in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach - men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes or film stars instead: For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.” MenWellsHas BeensBeautifulFilmFacesSpiritualStarsWatchesCuttingHe ManKingsMarkAthleteDenyPoisonHonourForbiddenMillionaireMonarchyEdenMonarchsPebblesArchesRumoursSpiritual NatureFilm StarsConstitutional MonarchyPolyphony Author:C.

“As in the case of painters, who have undertaken to give us a beautiful and graceful figure, which may have some slight blemishes, we do not wish then to pass over such blemishes altogether, nor yet to mark them too prominently. The one would spoil the beauty, and the other destroy the likeness of the picture.” GivingMayBeautifulWishCasesFiguresMarkPainterSpoil Author:Plutarch
“Sex as something beautiful may soon disappear. Once it was a knife so finely honed the edge was invisible until it was touched and then it cut deep.

“... when one reflects on the books one never has written, and never may, though their schedules lie in the beautiful chirography which marks the inception of an unexpressed thought upon the pages of one's notebook, one is aware, of any given idea, that the chances are against its ever being offered to one's dearest readers.” MayBookIdeasBeautifulLyingGivenChanceWrittenReaderPagesMarkSchedulesChances AreNotebookInception Author:Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward
“When I was very young, I was disgracefully intolerant but when I passed the thirty mark I prided myself on having learned the beautiful lesson that all things were good, and equally good. That, however, was really laziness. Now, thank goodness, I've sorted out what matters and what doesn't. And I'm beginning to be intolerant again.” MatterBeautifulYoungLessonsGoodnessAll ThingsMarkThirtyLazinessWhat Matters Author:Gladys Bronwyn Stern
