Daz schuof iedoch ein wîse man,
daz alter guot solde hân.
jugent hât vil werdekeit,
daz alter siuften unde leit.
ez enwart nie niht als unfruot,
sô alter unde armuot.Wolfram von Eschenbach
Omne tulit punctum qui miscuit utile dulci,
lectorem delectando pariterque monendo.Horace
Whether a bank lent one million, ten million, or a hundred millions, they would not permanently alter the market rate of interest; they would alter only the value of the money they issued.
David Ricardo
I feel ever so strongly that an artist must be nourished by his passions and his despairs. These things alter an artist whether for the good or the better or the worse. It must alter him. The feelings of desperation and unhappiness are more useful to an artist than the feeling of contentment, because desparation and unhappiness stretch your whole sensibility.
Francis (artist) Bacon
...she recreated the mountains not as she had originally seen them but as she eventually chose to perceive them, not only a capacity to observe the world but a capacity to alter his or her observation of it — which, in the end, is the capacity to alter the world, itself. Those people who recognise that imagination is reality's master, we call "sages," and those who act upon it, we call "artists."
