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 .

Ernst Kris and Ernst Gombrich, two of Riegl’s disciples: A work of art is inherently ambiguous and therefore that each person who sees it has a different interpretation. In essence, the beholder recapitulates in his or her own brain the artist’s creative steps.

The only devils in this world are those running around inside our own hearts, and that is where all our battles should be fought by Gandhi

Our opinions do not really blossom into fruition until we have expressed them to someone else.
by Mark Twain

Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has
exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich
people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new
minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day.
Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how
much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire
tomorrow."

-- Denis Waitley

'Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines'

Robert H. Schuller

You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.
Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.
No one can possibly achieve any real and lasting success or get rich in business by being a conformist.
Capital isn't scarce; vision is.
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.”
“When you innovate, you’ve got to be prepared for everyone telling you you’re nuts.”
“Once we realize that imperfect understanding is the human condition there is no shame in being wrong, only in failing to correct our mistakes.”
“I think if you look at people, whether in business or government, who haven’t had any moral compass, who’ve just changed to say whatever they thought the popular thing was, in the end they’re losers.”
“I think it is often easier to make progress on mega-ambitious dreams. Since no one else is crazy enough to do it, you have little competition. In fact, there are so few people this crazy that I feel like I know them all by first name.”
“I just love it when people say I can’t do it, there’s nothing that makes me feel better [than proving them wrong] because all my life, people have said that I wasn’t going to make it.”
“When you live for others’ opinions, you are dead. I don’t want to live thinking about how I’ll be remembered.”

If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought by Peace Pilgrim

 'It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light'

Aristotle Onassis
The will is not free — it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect but — there is something behind the will which is free.
by Swami Vivekanand

Reason often makes mistakes, but conscience never does - Josh Billings

Words ought to be a little wild for they are the assault of thoughts on the unthinking - John Maynard Keynes

Love is not gazing at each other but looking together in the same direction - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

The price of anything is th amount of life you exchange for it - Henry David Thoreau

The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein: it rejects it - Peter Medawar

The man whi insists upon seeing with perfect clearness before he decides, never decides - Henri Frederic Amiel
