“I have a studio in the country - in the woods - but my paintings look more real to me than what is outdoors. You walk outside; the rocks are inert; even the clouds are inert. It makes me feel a little better. But I do have a faith that it is possible to make a living thing, not a diagram of what I have been thinking: to posit with paint something living, something that changes each day.” ThinkingFeelsLooksLittlesHas BeensRealCountryNatureWalksRocksPaintingPaintCloudsStudiosWoodsEach DayLiving ThingsDiagrams Book:Philip Guston: Collected Writings, Lectures, and Conversations Source: Philip Guston: Collected Writings, Lectures, and Conversations
“I take two walks up hills each day, and bike ride each morning. I also have an exercise bike to increase my heart rate. My wife and I have been going to a personal trainer for weights and balance twice a week for 10 years. My balance has improved tremendously and the weights decrease my age. I only feel 52, not 82.” FeelsYearsHeartHas BeensTwoAgeWalksMorningWifeWeekBalanceMy HeartExerciseWeightIncreaseAgingRateMy WifeHillsEach DayBikeDecreaseTrainersHeart Rate Author:Robert Bateman
“So long as men shall be on earth, there will be tasks for them to do. Some way for them to show their worth. Each day shall bring its problems new. And men shall dream of mightier deeds than ever have been done before. There always shall be human needs for men to work and struggle for.” MenWayNeedsHumansLongHas BeensDoneShowsProblemDreamEarthStruggleTasksDeedsEach DayHuman Needs Author:Edgar Guest
