Natalia Tena famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

  • Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process.

  • Poems very seldom consist of poetry and nothing else; and pleasure can be derived also from their other ingredients. I am convinced that most readers, when they think they are admiring poetry, are deceived by inability to analyse their sensations, and that they are really admiring, not the poetry of the passage before them, but something else in it, which they like better than poetry.

  • The traditional difficulty of balancing the mechanical with the imaginative schools of photography still operates. In schools of photography meaningful art education is often lacking and on the strength of their technical ability alone students, deprived of a richer artistic training, are sent forth inculcated with the belief that they are creative photographers and artists. It is yet a fact that today, as in the past, the most inspiring and provocative works in photography come as much (and probably more) from those who are in the first place artists.

  • We look at the world and see what we have learned to believe is there. We have been conditioned to expect... but, as photographers, we must learn to relax our beliefs.

  • We cannot have peace if we are only concerned with peace. War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life. If we want to attack war, we have to attack that way of life.

  • OK, the rule is, you can [make love to] an elephant if you want to, but if you do you can't cover the circus.

  • One can't have it both ways and both ways is the only way I want it.

  • I want to go beyond the restrictions of language, religion and caste, and music is the only thing that allows me to do that.

  • If I get an idea for a series that I really like, I'm sure I won't be able to resist coming back and doing it.

  • I'm kind of glad that I was able to properly grow up before becoming a massive movie star.
