Science is not a matter of opinion; there is only one truth.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands - Michelangelo

A great artist is always before his time or behind it - George Edward

The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery - Francis Bacon

Land really is the best art - Andy Warhol

"Art is not what you see but what others make you see" 
-French Artist, Edgar Degas

The best scientists themselves are usually artists -  Einstein

Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from - Jodie Foster

Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people - Eleanor Roosevelt

People have opinions about art, whereas science is a bit more concrete.

“All art should become science and all science art,” declared the German Romantic poet Friedrich Schlegel

Einstein once declared, "Creativity is the residue of time wasted."

When people asked Leonardo da Vinci the secret of his creative and inventing genius, he replied “Saper Vedere,” - to know how to see.

Saper vedere, Sapio audacter …sapere aude
To see is to know – dare to know …dare to be wise-think boldly!

Words have more influence when tied to an identity.

Ideas are not set in stone. When exposed to thoughtful people, they morph and adapt into their most potent form.

"An artist sells what he paints. A painter paints what he sells."- Pablo Picasso

John Cleese - “Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating.”

Creativity is combining and connecting things:

Successful scientists have often been people with wide interests. Their originality may have derived from their diverse knowledge … Originality often consists in linking up ideas whose connection was not previously suspected - Beveridge

Only when they have exhausted all the food , water and air ,  they will know they cannot eat money!

Oftentimes the right moment to learn the most is when you’ve done something stupid, not necessarily when you’ve triumphed.

An optimist would say the glass is half full, while a pessimist would say it is half empty. I have a third point of view. For me the glass is always full - half with water and half with air .

Being alive is the greatest phenomenon, not just on this planet, but in the whole cosmos - Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
The toughest thing about success is that you have got to keep on being a success - Irving Berlin

There is no point in making yourself believe everything is going to be all right. But if you do the right things, you can leave this world a better place by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Quotes by Helen Keller:
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.
So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.
Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.
While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done.
All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.
It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.
Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there's a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.
Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.
Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the light.
Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.

( Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was the first deafblind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. The story of how Keller's teacher, Anne Sullivan, broke through the isolation imposed by a near complete lack of language, allowing the girl to blossom as she learned to communicate, has become widely known through the dramatic depictions of the play and film The Miracle Worker. She is an inspiration to everybody who feels that life has many troubles and problems. She overcome something that is even hard to imagine and did wonders. )

If at First You Don't Succeed
"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." -Michael Jordan.
