ArtsyGutsy's Favorite Quotes
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common - this is my symphony. ~ William Henry Channing
We are all longing to go home to some place we have never been - a place half-remembered and half-envisioned we can only catch glimpses of from time to time. Community. Somewhere, there are people to whom we can speak with passion without having the words catch in our throats. Somewhere a circle of hands will open to receive us, eyes will light up as we enter, voices will celebrate with us whenever we come into our own power. Community means strength that joins our strength to do the work that needs to be done. Arms to hold us where we falter. A circle of healing. A circle of friends. Someplace where we can be free. ~ Starhawk
Quotations on Elegance, Style, Events
ON ELEGANCE
Definition: el·e·gance,
- Refinement, grace, and beauty in movement, appearance, or manners.
- Tasteful opulence in form, decoration, or presentation.
- Restraint and grace of style.
- Scientific exactness and precision
Why has elegance found so little following? That is the reality of it. Elegance has the disadvantage, if that's what it is, that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. ~ Edsger Dijkstra
Imagine for a moment that each one of us takes only a little more care for each hour of his days, that he demands in it a little more of elegance and intensity; then, multiplying all these minute pressures toward the perfecting and deepening of each life by all the others, calculate for yourselves the gigantic enrichment, the fabulous ennobling which this process would create for human society.
Nature is always with us. It is self-supporting. In the forests of Nature we can be savages with impunity. We can likewise resolve never to cease being so, without further risk than the coming of other peoples who are not savages. But, in principle, it is possible to have peoples who are perennially primitive. Breyssig has called these peoples "the peoples of perpetual dawn," those who have remained in a motionless, frozen twilight, which never progresses towards midday.
This is what happens in the world which is mere Nature. But it does not happen in the world of civilization which is ours. Civilization is not 'just there,' it is not self-supporting. It is artificial and requires the artist or the artisan. If you want to make use of the advantages of civilization, but are not prepared to concern yourself with the upholding of civilization - you are done. Just a slip, and when you look around everything appears in its native state, just as if curtains covering pure Nature had been drawn back. The jungle is always primitive and, vice versa, everything primitive is mere jungle. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset
Elegance of language may not be in the power of all of us; but simplicity and straight forwardness are. Write much as you would speak; speak as you think. If with your inferior, speak no coarser than usual; if with your superiors, no finer. ~ Quoted
A statesman who keeps his ear permanently glued to the ground will have neither elegance of posture nor flexibility of movement. ~ Abba Eban
The only thing I was trying to portray was serenity. Also, innocence, vulnerability and elegance. ~ Sylvia Kristel
For me, elegance is not to pass unnoticed but to get to the very soul of what one is. ~ Christian Lacroix
The only real elegance is in the mind; if you've got that, the rest really comes from it. ~ Diana Vreeland
Elegance is innate. It has nothing to do with being well dressed. Elegance is refusal. ~ Diana Vreeland
Fashion can be bought. Style one must possess. ~ Edna Woolman Chase
A truly elegant taste is generally accompanied with an excellency of heart. ~ Henry Fielding
Deciding what to wear beyond the dress is not easy, but it makes the difference between elegance and non-elegance. The wrong accessories are the most common mistakes women make. ~ Giorgio Armani
Elegance is good taste plus a dash of daring. ~ Carmel Snow
It is in refinement and elegance that the civilized man differs from the savage. ~ Samuel Johnson
The artist who does not feel completely satisfied by elegant lines, by harmonious colors, and by a beautiful succession of chords, does not understand the art of music. ~ Camille Saint-Saëns
A designer can mull over complicated designs for months. Then suddenly the simple, elegant, beautiful solution occurs to him. When it happens to you, it feels as if God is talking! And maybe He is. ~ Leo Frankowski

What is style? For some, it’s just an advanced form of fashion, a kind of consistent rightness about clothes that distinguishes the would-be chic from the real elite. For others, it’s a more general phenomenon, a heightened awareness of decorating and entertaining as well as of clothes. And for still others, it’s the ultimate expression of character, a way of transforming the vulgarity of existence into a living work of art. – The Power of Style, Tapert & Edkins
Style is about surviving, about having been through a lot and making it look easy. ~ C.Z. Guest
Style is what makes you different. ~ Jacqueline de Ribes
With style you must stay as you are. ~ Givenchy

The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order: the continuous thread of revelation. ~ Eudora Welty
Events that are predestined require but little management. They manage themselves. They slip into place while we sleep, and suddenly we are aware that the thing we fear to attempt, is already accomplished. ~ Quoted
Memory is very important, the memory of each photo taken, flowing at the same speed as the event. During the work, you have to be sure that you haven't left any holes, that you've captured everything, because afterwards it will be too late. ~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
Do not seek to have events happen as you want them to, but instead want them to happen as they do happen, and your life will go well. ~ Epictus
