Maria Sibylla Merian famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

  • The truth and the facts aren't necessarily the same thing. Telling the truth is the object of all art; facts are what the unimaginative have instead of ideas.

  • To me documentary photography means making a picture so that the viewer doesn’t think about the man who made the picture. At its esthetic core is very old tradition in art: naturalism. And its purpose is to document all facets of social relationships.

  • Television in the 1960s & 70s had just as much dross and the programmes were a lot more tediously patronising than they are now. Memory truncates occasional gems into a glittering skein of brilliance. More television, more channels means more good television and, of course, more bad. The same equation applies to publishing, film and, I expect, sumo wrestling.

  • Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

  • Only death can seperate me from the wrestling world.

  • If I don't do what I need to do to win, I won't win, no matter who is on the other side of the net.

  • The virtue of achievement is victory over oneself. Those who know this can never know defeat.

  • I shall give a propagandist reason for starting the war, no matter whether it is plausible or not. The victor will not be asked afterwards whether he told the truth or not. When starting and waging war it is not right that matters, but victory.

  • The degree of blessing enjoyed by any man will correspond exactly with the completeness of God's victory over him.

  • The experiences of men who walked with God in olden times agree to teach that the Lord cannot fully bless the a man until He has first conquered him. The degree of blessing enjoyed by any man will correspond exactly with the completeness of God's victory over him.
