I would absolutely definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I'd like it to be a special day not a photo shoot. And once you've done that your marriage becomes everybody else's business.

It's to paint directly on the canvas without any funny business as it were and I use almost pure turpentine to start with adding oil as I go along until the medium becomes pure oil. I use as little oil as I can possibly help and that's my method.

The life of a man who deliberately runs through his fortune often becomes a business speculation his friends his pleasures patrons and acquaintances are his capital.

One's mind has a way of making itself up in the background and it suddenly becomes clear what one means to do.

One of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.

An excuse becomes an obstacle in your journey to success when it is made in place of your best effort or when it is used as the object of the blame.

The thought came to me that all one loves in art becomes beautiful. Beauty is nothing but the expression of the fact that something is being loved. Only thus could she be defined.

At some point in life the world's beauty becomes enough. You don't need to photograph paint or even remember it. It is enough.

If philosophy is practice a demand to know the manner in which its history is to be studied is entailed: a theoretical attitude toward it becomes real only in the living appropriation of its contents from the texts.

In just the same way the thousands of successive positions of a runner are contracted into one sole symbolic attitude which our eye perceives which art reproduces and which becomes for everyone the image of a man who runs.
