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 .

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on March 29, 2011 at 7:26am: It is the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive - C. W. Leadbeater

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on March 28, 2011 at 6:12am: You must not let your life run in the ordinary way; do something that nobody else has done, something that will dazzle the world. Show that Nature's creative principle works in you.

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on March 12, 2011 at 7:32am: Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.- Osho

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 25, 2011 at 12:41pm: Kandinsky is widely quoted as saying: "The artist must train not only his eye but also his soul, so that it can weigh colors on its own scale and thus become a determinant in artistic creation".

The darkness is there not to run away from but to face and to transform.

Science only permits direct focus on one form of knowledge attainment, empirical, but artists, seeking to portray all aspects in a physical recreation, allow for multiplicity.

Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
~The Buddha

Do not go where the path may lead, but go where there is no path and leave a trail.

"...no human inquiry can be called science unless it pursues its path through mathematical exposition and demonstration." -Leonardo da Vinci.
Leonardo applied this concept to art too.

"You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing." - Dale Carnegie

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 25, 2011 at 12:37pm: "Those who are enamored of practice without science are like a pilot who goes into a ship without rudder or compass and never has any certainty where he is going. Practice should always be based upon a sound knowledge of theory, of which perspective is the guide and gateway, and without it nothing can be done well in any kind of painting."

To understand the importance of your uniqueness, realise that in the history of mankind until now, and ever hereafter, there can never be another you. So remain unique and be yourself.

Winners do the things that less developed people don't like doing even though they also might not enjoy doing them. That is what strength of character & courage is all about.

“All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.”
Albert Einstein

Art is the process of creating a very personal view of the world. Science is the process of creating a very impersonal view of the world.

'Art upsets, Science reassures' - Georges Braque

St. Francis said, "He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with his hands and head and heart is an artist."

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 16, 2011 at 9:50am: "Religion hinges upon faith, politics hinges upon who can tell the most convincing lies or maybe just shout the loudest, but science hinges upon whether its conclusions resemble what actually happens."

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 16, 2011 at 8:45am: Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475-1564) was perhaps more a sculptor at heart than he was a painter, and thus Vasari quoted him saying, "I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint."

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 16, 2011 at 7:28am: "A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 13, 2011 at 7:28am: Faith and doubt both are needed - not as antagonists, but working side by side to take us around unknown curve - Lillian Smith

If you put all your strength and faith and vigour into a job and try to do the best you can, the money will come - Lawrence Welk

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment - Jim Rohn

Comment by Dr. Krishna Kumari Challa on February 10, 2011 at 7:34am: A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history - Mahatma Gandhi

A half truth, like half a brick, is always more forcible as an argument than a whole one. It carries better - Stephen Leacock
