"I've seen a look in dogs' eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts."
—John Steinbeck

Rothko

“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.”
― Milan Kundera

Do Dogs Dream?

In a portrait, you have room to have a point of view.

The Red Boat

The Wit of George Bernard Shaw

“You see things; and you say, 'Why?'

But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?'”

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

“We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.”

 “A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.”

 “You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul”

 “We should all be obliged to appear before a board every five years and justify our existence...on pain of liquidation.”

“The minority is sometimes right; the majority always wrong.”

“The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who haven't got it.”

“Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire,

you will what you imagine and at last you create what you will.”

“The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact than a drunken man is happier than a sober one”

“Two percent of the people think; three percent of the people think they think; and ninety-five percent of the people would rather die than think.”

“Human beings are the only animals of which I am thoroughly and cravenly afraid.”

Situations

“Style is the answer to everything.
A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing
To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it
To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art

Bullfighting can be an art
Boxing can be an art
Loving can be an art
Opening a can of sardines can be an art

Not many have style
Not many can keep style
I have seen dogs with more style than men,
although not many dogs have style.
Cats have it with abundance.

When Hemingway put his brains to the wall with a shotgun,
that was style.
Or sometimes people give you style
Joan of Arc had style
John the Baptist
Jesus
Socrates
Caesar
García Lorca.

I have met men in jail with style.
I have met more men in jail with style than men out of jail.
Style is the difference, a way of doing, a way of being done.
Six herons standing quietly in a pool of water,
or you, naked, walking out of the bathroom without seeing me.”
― Charles Bukowski
