Hello
From time to time there will be new entries made in my Journal. Sometimes it will be in the form of a blog about a facet of the art world, or life. Or its content may reflect my love of single words and their meanings, quotations from various sources that give pause, images that stir the soul. Your comments are welcome.
“I don’t want to make money, I just want to be wonderful. I want to be an artist, an actress with integrity……If fame goes by, so long, I’ve had you, fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle. So at least it’s something I experienced, but that’s not where I live.
A career is wonderful, but you can’t curl up with it on a cold night.
I knew I belonged to the public and to the world. Not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.
My work is the only ground I’ve ever had to stand on. I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation…….but I’m working on the foundation.
Hollywood’s a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.”
MARILYN MONROE
Here are some quotes I love.
“We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.” – Goethe
“A Man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul” – Goethe
“There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live an unreal life. They take the images outside them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself. ” – Herman Hesse
“There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun” – Pablo Picasso
