A fine picture is but the image of nature; a finished ballet is nature herself.

Jean-Georges Noverre

I never know when a record is finished until it's almost finished.

Kevin Parker

Movies are not finished. They are abandoned. A movie is never finished.

Louis Leterrier

I never use nature as a starting point. I never abstract from nature; I never consciously think of nature when I paint.

Adolph Gottlieb

It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated... it is finished when it surrenders.

Ben Stein

What was evident was that Mozart was simply transcribing music completely finished in his head. And finished as most music is never finished. Displace one note and there would be diminishment. Displace one phrase and structure would fall. I was staring through the cage of those meticulous ink strokes at Absolute Beauty.

Peter Shaffer

Anybody that makes films knows the film is never finished. It's abandoned or it's ripped out of your hands, and it's thrown into the marketplace, never finished. It's a very rare experience where you find a filmmaker who says, "That's exactly what I wanted. I got everything I needed. I made it just perfect. I'm going to put it out there."

George Lucas

Movies are great fun and wonderful when they're good. But you never get to see them till six months after they're finished. So you never get a sense of whether they're really well liked or how good they are. And you don't really know what the finished product is going to be like, because it's a director's medium.

Lauren Bacall

I've finished fights from my feet, I've finished fights with my ground-and-pound, and I've finished fights from my back with a submission, from top with submission. You name it, and I've finished a fight that way.

Frank Mir

My grandfather started his autobiography before he died; he never finished it. I would like to finish his autobiography because I finished mine.

Karrine Steffans

I do not read the works of Salman Rushdie, I write them. By the time I have finished writing them all I can think of is never reading them again. It's so deep, your involvement with a book, that once it's finished, then you are really done with it.

Salman Rushdie

I never thought I was finished when people said I was finished, or any of that stuff. I always had this undying belief that even if I was in a wheelchair and I could only move my finger, somehow I would become the guy who does the amazing thing with his finger.

Jim Carrey

Sabbath requires surrender. If we only stop when we are finished with all our work, we will never stop, because our work is never completely done. With every accomplishment there arises a new responsibility... Sabbath dissolves the artificial urgency of our days, because it liberates us from the need to be finished.

Wayne Muller

Someday I'll be remembered for The phone calls I never made Letters I never mailed And the stories I never finished telling anyone.

Yoko Ono

Things perfected by nature are better than those finished by art.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

My paintings are titled after they are finished. I paint from remembered landscapes that I carry with me - and remembered feelings of them, which of course become transformed. I could certainly never mirror nature. I would more like to paint what it leaves with me.

Joan Mitchell
