Art becomes a spiritual process depending upon the degree of commitment that you bring to it. Every experience becomes direct food for your art. Then your art teaches you about life.

Nick Bantock

The quality of your life is a direct reflection of the expectations of your peer group.

Tony Robbins

To say that you can 'have experience,' means, for one thing, that your past plays into and affects your present, and that it defines your capacity for future experience. As a social scientist, you have to control this rather elaborate interplay, to capture what you experience and sort it out; only in this way can you hope to use it to guide and test your reflection, and in the process shape yourself as an intellectual craftsman

C. Wright Mills

Often I feel I go to some distant region of the world to be reminded of who I really am. There is no mystery about why this should be so. Stripped of your ordinary surroundings, your friends, your daily routines, your refrigerator full of your food, your closet full of your clothes -- with all this taken away, you are forced into direct experience. Such direct experience inevitably makes you aware of who it is that is having the experience. That's not always comfortable, but it is always invigorating.

Michael Crichton

It's definitely something that is a direct reflection in the mirror when you do a reality show. You can see what your flaws are and what you need to work on.

Summer Rae

Your body is an absolute mirror of your mind. As you worry, your body shows it. As you love, your body shows it. As you are overwhelmed, your body shows it. As you are angry your body shows it. Every cell of your body is being allowed or resisted by the way you feel. 'My physical state is a direct reflection of how I feel', instead of 'How I feel is a direct reflection of my physical state'.

Esther Hicks

I take a lot of inspiration from the nature of the universe and visualize my work as a direct or indirect reflection of life, inside and around us.

Jeet Aulakh

But if your work is your art, a personal reflection of who you are, the only person who can do that better than you, is a future you.

Bill Crawford

The reality of art is disclosed only in experience, not in reflection upon experience.

Clement Greenberg

Art is an attitude toward life. If you aim your work and your life high, keep your scene harmonious, then you're an artist and your life is art.

Gage Taylor

I've come to understand that art is awesome and beautiful because it's a reflection of life - but it's just a reflection, and the real thing is my daughter.

Chance The Rapper

Abundance is a direct reflection of your preparation to live abundantly. People who are ready for abundance keep their heads up, their eyes open and give thanks for everything they get.

Iyanla Vanzant

...start thinking of yourself as an artist and your life as a work-in-progress. Works-in-progress are never perfect. But changes can be made...Art evolves. So does life. Art is never stagnant. Neither is life. The beautiful, authentic life you are creating for yourself is your art. It's the highest art.

Sarah Ban Breathnach

Art is a reflection of everything that impacts your life.

Kiki Smith

It's just endless what you can learn from a single work of art. You can fill up the crevices of your life, the cracks of your life, the places where the mortar comes out and falls away-you can fill it up with the love of art.
