| "The world is but a canvas to the imagination." »Henry David Thoreau |
| "Life is a great big canvas throw all the paint on it you can." »Danny Kaye |
| "Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination." »Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire |
| "You know...that a blank wall is an apalling thing to look at. The wall of a museum -- a canvas -- a piece of film -- or a guy sitting in front of a typewriter. Then, you start out to do something -- that vague thing called creation. The beginning strikes awe within you." »Edward Steichen |
| "With every experience, you alone are painting your own canvas, thought by thought, choice by choice." »Oprah Winfrey |
| "If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life." »Andrew Schneider |
| "He who knows the surface of the earth and the topography of a country only through the examination of maps..is like a man who learns the opera of Meyerbeer or Rossini by reading only reviews in the newspapers. The brush of landscape artists Lorrain, Ruysdael, or Calame can reproduce on canvas the sun's ray, the coolness of the heavens, the green of the fields, the majesty of the mountains...but what can never be stolen from Nature is that vivid impression that she alone can and knows how to impart--the music of the birds, the movement of the trees, the aroma peculiar to the place--the inexplicable something the traveller feels that cannot be defined and which seems to awaken in him distant memories of happy days, sorrows and joys gone by, never to return!" »Dr. Jose P. Rizal |
