A painting is finished when the subject comes back, when what has caused the painting to be made comes back as an object.

Howard Hodgkin

People are always trying to find the next groovy thing, and it hasn't gone back to painting... I'd like it to go back to painting. I'm sick of all this photography and video. There's so much of it, it's almost annoying.

Cindy Sherman

When you give up vengeance, make sure you are not giving up on justice. The line between the two is faint, unsteady, and fine...Vengeance is our own pleasure of seeing someone who hurt us getting it back and then some. Justice, on the other hand, is secure when someone pays a fair penalty for wronging another even if the injured person takes no pleasure in the transaction. Vengeance is personal satisfaction. Justice is moral accounting...Human forgiveness does not do away with human justice.

Lewis B. Smedes

Vengeance is sweet. Vengeance taken when the vengee isn't sure who the venger is, is sweeter still.

Gary D. Schmidt

There is no vengeance as terrible as the vengeance a coward plots in the dark of his heart.

Glen Cook

I want to be indifferent to vengeance. It's degrading. Not having a spirit of vengeance protects me, internally.

Segolene Royal

I don't like getting out when I could be painting. And when I'm painting, I don't want anybody else around.

Captain Beefheart

Death, there will be death, aye. Your lordship lost a son at the Red Wedding. I lost four upon the Blackwater. And why? Because the Lannisters stole the throne. Go to King’s Landing and look on Tommen with your own eyes, if you doubt me. A blind man could see it. What does Stannis offer you? Vengeance. Vengeance for my sons and yours, for your husbands and your fathers and your brothers. Vengeance for your murdered lord, your murdered king, your butchered princes. Vengeance!

George R. R. Martin

When you have a very hot single there is no reason why it can't drive album sales. People fall off and come back on. I'm looking forward to coming back on with a vengeance.

Justin Guarini

Photoshop came out of painting, and now it's going back to painting.

David Hockney

I hope to actually get back to painting someday... soon. I sort of transitioned into cartooning from painting.

Max Cannon

I think that time moves slower in painting. And maybe that accounts for a lot of the anxiety around painting in the last 40 or 50 years.

Joe Bradley

When I was painting, I was painting stories I was telling myself. When I look back at it, moving to writing was a very natural progression for me.

Janet Evanovich

In the back of every painting there's an entire universe that makes it possible for the painting to be there: an army of conservators, technicians, people who maintain these things, the market.
