Horace
Roman - Poet
65 BC - 8 BC

"Painters and poets," you say, "have always had an equal license in bold invention." We know; we claim the liberty for ourselves and in turn we give it to others.

Horace

We painters use the same license as poets and madmen.

Paolo Veronese

Painters and poets alike have always had license to dare anything! We know that, and we both claim and allow to others in their turn this indulgence.

Horace

To a large extent, the problems of poets are the problems of painters, and poets must often turn to the literature of painting for a discussion of their own problems.

Wallace Stevens

Michael Moore

We should be licensing everybody with a gun. I have to have a license for my dog. I have to have a license for my car. If you're going to do my hair later you have to have a license... We don't require a license to own a firearm?

Michael Moore

James Broughton

In some ways painters have been more important in my life than writers. Painters teach you how to see—a faculty that usually isn’t highly developed in poets. Whether you take a walk in the woods with a painter, or go to a museum with one, through them you notice shapes, colors, harmonies, relationships that enhance your own seeing.

Carolyn Kizer

Painters and poets have liberty to lie.

Robert Burns

I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness.

Max Planck

Painters and poets are obliged to exaggerate the proportions of their figures in order to give true perspective.

Mahatma Gandhi

I'm probably much more influenced by film-makers and painters than I am by other songwriters or poets.

P. J. Harvey

I'm not, by nature, a collaborator. My biggest influences were people like painters and poets. These are solitary workers.

Robert Wyatt

Poets heap virtues, painters gems, at will, And show their zeal, and hide their want of skill.

Alexander Pope

Im not, by nature, a collaborator. My biggest influences were people like painters and poets. These are solitary workers.

Robert Wyatt

Poets, not otherwise than philosophers, painters, sculptors, and musicians, are, in one sense, the creators, and, in another, the creations, of their age.

Percy Bysshe Shelley
