Intention Quality

French - Photographer
Born: July 26, 1928

Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. That's not quality, that's a kind of quality. The pictures of Robert Frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of Ansel Adams with regard to quality, because the quality of Ansel Adams, if I may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. But the quality of Robert Frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. It's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. It's got to do with intention.

All communication begins with an intention, and your intention determines the quality of your life.

Danielle LaPorte

Intention is power. Intention is ownership. Intention is commitment. Intention is magic.

Sonia Choquette

An intention is a quality of consciousness that you bring to an action.

Gary Zukav

I'm a big fan of intention. That's because I have learned first-hand the power of setting my intention on my goal and making all decisions based off of that intention.

Lewis Howes

The naive which is simultaneously beautiful, poetic, and idealistic, must be both intention and instinct. The essence of intention, in this sense, is freedom. Consciousness is far from intention. There is a certain enamoured contemplation of one's own naturalness or silliness which itself is unspeakably silly. Intention does not necessarily require a profound calculation or plan.

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives, the cumulative experience of many masters of craftsmanship. Quality also marks the search for an ideal after necessity has been satisfied and mere usefulness achieved.

John Ruskin

I suppose the primary intention of a documentary photographer is to document facts. My work often does this but it is not the primary intention. My intention is to make the best pictorial image I can.

Richard Billingham

I am a person who lives my life based on intention. I don't do anything without intention because intention determines the outcome of your life. It's like cause and effect.

Oprah Winfrey

The intention to live as long as possible isn't one of the mind's best intentions, because quantity isn't the same as quality.

Deepak Chopra

The intention that naturally exists: 'My intention is to get done with this commute.' So I've just doomed myself to an hour of discomfort, because my intention will not be met until I get out of the car.

Jeff Kober

I'm always aiming for some magic in films if I can find a mystical quality either in a song or in a moment or a character's intention.

Jean-Marc Vallee

It's our intention. Our intention is everything. Nothing happens on this planet without it. Not one single thing has ever been accomplished without intention.

Jim Carrey

My intention is not to be an American TV personality. My intention is not to be a Spanish TV personality. My intention is to talk about health and fitness and being a mom.

Hilaria Baldwin

The most important thing, to me is the intention of where things come from, like, why did you use it? What were the intentions of what you did? And if the intention is good, the intention is pure, then everything will turn out good.

GRiZ

Whenever any person in the creative field does a film, they think it is going to be of good quality or this is something people will like. The intention is always positive.

Akshaye Khanna
