quotes
I wish I followed this advice:
"look at pictures until you acquire the power of seeing them."
George Bernard Shaw
quotes
Rae, what I particularly like about the quote is that it enjoins us not to look until we LIKE the picture, just until we SEE it. This might mean that we will dislike it OR love it, but either response will be less an expression of our prejudice; it will reflect an honest AWARENESS of it.
Richard Gere in 'Pretty Woman' ~ you may never love the opera, but you will learn to appreciate it.
I believe "Show me an angel and I will paint one" was uttered by Courbet, not T.H. Benson.
