Many of the artists who have represented Negro life have seen only the comic ludicrous side of it and have lacked sympathy with and appreciation for the warm big heart that dwells within such a rough exterior.

But I do know focusing on the exterior doesn't make me happy. If I want peace and serenity it won't be reached by getting thinner or fatter.

To any artist worthy of the name all in nature is beautiful because his eyes fearlessly accepting all exterior truth read there as in an open book all the inner truth.

Thus happiness depends as nature shows less on exterior things than most suppose.

We clearly realize that freedom's inner kingdom cannot be touched by exterior attacks.

We all have to find beauty within us as opposed to just our exterior.

The work of art just like any fragment of human life considered in its deepest meaning seems to me devoid of value if it does not offer the hardness the rigidity the regularity the luster on every interior and exterior facet of the crystal.

What's fascinating about D.C. the exteriors are these elaborate structures this gorgeous architecture and beautiful stonework and then you go inside and it's crap-looking - apart from the White House which is beautiful.

The interior of the house personifies the private world the exterior of it is part of the outside world.
