“To touch on people's lives [ in a way they ] haven't been touched on before, it´s fascianting. You know, it's one thing if [ a celebrity ] has an incredible character and you're really going to be able to delve into their personality – that's great. But you can never get real purity if people have been spoiled by the camera and don't trust you. I like feeling that I'm able to be a voice for those people who aren't famous, the people that don't have the great opportunities.” PeopleIfsKnowsWayHas BeensRealCharacterFeelingsAbleOpportunityVoiceOne ThingHavensPersonalityCamerasIncrediblesPurityTouchedGet RealSpoiledDon't TrustGreat Opportunity Author:Mary Ellen Mark
“Still I should paint my own places best; painting is with me but another word for feeling, and I associate "my careless boyhood" with all that lies on the banks of the Stour; those scenes made me a painter, and I am grateful; that is, I had often thought of pictures of them before ever I touched a pencil, and your picture ['The White Horse'] is one of the strongest instance I can recollect of it.” ShouldMadeStillsI CanFeelingsLyingMy OwnWhitePaintingSceneHorseGratefulPaintPainterInstanceTouchedStrongestAssociatesPencilsCarelessI Am GratefulBoyhoodWhite Horse Author:John Constable
“When I was young I once found a book in a Dutch translation, 'The leaves of Grass'. It was the first time a book touched me by its feeling of freedom and open spaces, the way the poet spoke of the ocean by describing a drop of water in his hand. Walt Whitman was offering the world an open hand (now we call it democracy) and my 'Monument for Walt Whitman' became this open hand with mirrors, so you can see inside yourself.” WorldWayFirstsBookFeelingsHandsYoungFoundWaterSpaceDemocracyPoetOceanFirst TimeMirrorsGrassTouchedSpokesOfferingTranslationsMonumentDescribingDutchWaltLeaves Of GrassDrop Of WaterOpen Spaces Author:Karel Appel
“That which is seen and that which is touched are of a dream-like and illusion-like nature. Because feeling arises together with the mind, it is not [ultimately] perceived.” MindFeelingsDreamTogetherIllusionAriseTouched Author:Shantideva
“It is an exquisite and beautiful thing in our nature, that, when the heart is touched and softened by some tranquil happiness or affectionate feeling, the memory of the dead comes over it most powerfully and irresistibly. It would seem almost as though our better thoughts and sympathies were charms, in virtue of which the soul is enabled to hold some vague and mysterious intercourse with the spirits of those whom we loved in life. Alas! how often and how long may these patient angels hover around us, watching for the spell which is so soon forgotten!” HeartMayLongSoulFeelingsSeemsBeautifulDeathSpiritMemoriesVirtueAngelPatientForgottenMysteriousCharmTouchedOver ItMost PowerfulSpellsBeautiful ThingsVagueAlasExquisiteIntercourseTranquilAffectionate Author:Charles Dickens
“There's something about materials like copper, woods, stone, trees, shells. You walk outside and these materials are part of the world before we touched anything. There's a feeling of pleasure that many of us have in materials that have some presence before us, like clay and wood and copper.” WorldFeelingsWalksPleasureTreeMaterialsStonesWoodsTouchedShellsClayCopper Author:Jessica Stockholder
“The body remembers, the bones remember, the joints remember, even the little finger remembers. Memory is lodged in pictures and feelings in the cells themselves. Like a sponge filled with water, anywhere the flesh is pressed, wrung, even touched lightly, a memory may flow out in a stream.” MayLittlesFeelingsBodyRememberWaterMemoriesFlowFilledFingersBonesFleshCellsStreamsTouchedJointsSponges Author:Clarissa Pinkola Estes
