Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought system planning intelligence and honest purpose as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Every view and every object I studied attentively by viewing them again and again on every side for I was anxious to make a lasting impression of it on my imagination.

I hope that I'm sexy in a different kind of way than I think that a lot of girls are right now. I think a lot of girls in the public eye especially musical artists are just kind of objectified a little bit and wearing super-skimpy outfits and leaving nothing to the imagination.

Literary imagination is an aesthetic object offered by a writer to a lover of books.

The moment a person forms a theory his imagination sees in every object only the traits which favor that theory.

It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object beware of this stumbling block.

I paint objects as I think them not as I see them.

My object will be if possible to form Christian men for Christian boys I can scarcely hope to make.

I am intrigued by inanimate objects. They're a piece of history someone's statement and ideas of life.

Our culture's obsession with vintage objects has rendered us unable to separate history from nostalgia. People want heart. They want a chaser of emotion with their aesthetics.
