What a person is begins to betray itself when his talent weakens--when he stops showing what he can do. Talent, too, is ornamentation, and ornamentation, too, is a hiding place.

Friedrich Nietzsche

My inspiration always comes from different places. Sometimes it's a piece of music or being in nature or seeing a film or reading a magazine. I find inspiration everywhere.

Marie Forleo

Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.

Frank Lloyd Wright

The perfect knowledge of events cannot be acquired without divine inspiration, since all prophetic inspiration receives its prime motivating force from God the creator, then from good fortune and nature.

Nostradamus

Art Nouveau got its inspiration from nature. The Bauhaus got its inspiration from engineering.

P. J. O'Rourke

Animals come from nature. They were not designed. All my inspiration comes from nature, whether it's an animal or the layout of bark or of a leaf. Sometimes my patterns are very bold, and you can barely see where they come from, but all the textures and all the prints come out of nature.

Diane von Furstenberg

I'm very inspired by nature - you could say Mother Nature. I look at things around me and get all kinds of inspiration daily.

Martha Stewart

Lack of ornamentation is a sign of spiritual strength.

Adolf Loos

My inspiration is always nature.

John Ruskin

My inspiration comes from the common man and nature.

Kailash Kher

Inspiration is everywhere - life, travel, childhood, nature - it depends on how you see it, how you can absorb the inspiration, and it depends on how your mind thinks. It could be a pattern on the floor that may be the next pattern I put on a cake, it just depends upon how you take it, when you're seeing it and what you're looking for.

Adriano Zumbo

The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.

Claude Monet

My inspiration's coming from nature, I love nature and all the expressions, I love art, I love expressions of beauty. It's part of my life, being engaged in the moment.
